I was reading some tweets in this regard. Doesn't this rule just apply to hiring a head coach???
 
Im sick of the Rooney Rule.

Steve Ross should put some random, black, lower level coach on the payroll. Just give him 20k every year to come in on occasion and do an interview with the full understanding he is just having a chat and enjoying a nice meal. That is a great gig to pad your salary each year if you are a local college coach.

This would also be a plus for black candidates for a coaching/FO position. When they get a call for an interview they can know it is completely legitimate and not some token interview to satisfy this ridiculous Rooney rule.

Dan Rooney can go to hell. I hope he gets beaten and robbed during a knockout game incident in Pittsburgh.

I can understand the reasoning behind this rule but a minority candidate who gets brought in to interview just because he is a minority has to feel pretty demeaning. I have heard Todd Bowles is now considered a top candidate for many jobs. I know he was a Phins coach and has done well in Arizona, but this rule seems to be a lot like affirmative action. An owner should be able to decide who to interview based on merit and not skin color.

Check the Breaking news thread there is more info in there if your interested in reading more on it.
 
If it is true, then Ross should pay the fine personally
 
It violated the common sense rule
 
At least Hickey has escaped being evaluated based on Tannenbaum's own poor GM decision making standards. Dodged a bullet there... And since Ross doesn't know his ass from his elbow when it comes to personnel (although he was smart enough to put the kibosh on Orton and make Philbin fire Sherman), it should be Dennis's opportunity to shine or flicker based on his own vision.

In practice I agree.. Hiring a slug like Tannenbaum to oversee everything footbal related is decidedly devoid of common sense. However in principle, going through a charade before you can hire the best candidate based on your perception defies common sense. Believe me, if a young Ozzie Newsome was available, teams would be beating down the door to get to him.

there are issues with rooney rule but its a fact that minority coaches were not being given opportunities before its implementation..

Entire NFL history before Rooney rule

7 minority coaches up until 2003

Since Rooney rule of 2003 13 minority head coaches. Still quite under represented but to act like the rule was not needed is to ignore actual history.

Diversity was not just gonna happen at the coach level without this rule and still in the end the rule is a sham because many are token interviews.

Still unless you can make an argument that the NFl was going to fix itself without and there is no argument to make.

Do you think there will be a rule in the future requiring a certain number of white players per team being they are a minority?
