CHIEFS HAVE COMPLIED WITH ROONEY RULE?
Posted by Mike Florio on February 4, 2009, 12:01 p.m.

As the Kansas City Chiefs continue to engage in one of the most secretive job searches in NFL history, some basic information has emerged regarding the process.

According to Nick Athan of Warpaint Illustrated, Chiefs owner Clark Hunt recently told a Kansas City radio station that the team has complied with the Rooney Rule, and that Hunt is “pleased” with the candidates who have been interviewed to date.

If, then, the Rooney Rule has been satisfied, the Chiefs are free to interview and hire Cardinals offensive coordinator Todd Haley without interviewing now or in the future any futher minority candidates.

But it’s impossible to know whether Haley is the leading candidate without knowing who the other candidates might be.

And, apparently, we won’t know any of their names, since the Chiefs presumably told them that, if any of their names emerge during the process, the team will assume that the candidate whose name emerges is responsible for the leak — and that the candidate will be disqualified from consideration.

When are these national guys going to learn they can't use Nick Athan as a source?

Clark said on the radio a couple days back that they already have. Wasn't this already posted or am I the only one who heard it?

I would not put any stock into that report, but I do believe that someone here said that Hunt said that the Chiefs have already complied.

This is the same interview that was posted yesterday.

Clark did say they have already interviewed candidates and he has been pleased with the quality of the candidates, and I believe he did mention that they had complied with the Rooney Rule.

Nick is just reporting something that was already posted here.

Nothing new to see, move along.

Yes he stated that in his interview on Channel 41 with Jack Harry IIRC.
