Slim and none :rolleyes2

The only reason he is even being interviewed by all these teams is because he is black and every team must interview at least 2 minorities for a head coaching position according to the NFL hiring procedures.

I thought it was just 1 minority candidate?

 

[Caps]

Really it's 2? I thought just 1 was ok.

Anyway, we've interviewed 3 by my count, Rivera, Lewis and Tomlin.

I was reading the link from another thread and Armando Salguero has Tomlin in his top 4

I would prefer Tomlin over Martz, Capers and Moron Jr

when Saban was hired, who was interviewed besides Shell?

bates.

on the rooney rule from wiki:

The Rooney Rule requires National Football League teams to interview minority candidates for a head coaching opportunity.

one is all it takes.

Not good.

Actually, he is one of the favorites. He may not be a recognizable name, but he's a hot young caoching propspect.

 

[DolphanD]

Yeah but so was Jim Mora several years ago. I'm just saying you never know what kind of coaching you're going to get from a rookie HC who is young by NFL head coaching standards and was a DC for what? 1 year?

Agreed, his name is popping up alot all of sudden, apparently he gave a great interview to Wayne. Seems the Steelers also were impressed by him, and that the Vikes are preparing for him to be gone, either this season or next. So, I would have to say hes got a good shot.
