    This thread is a good example of why the Rooney rule exists. Everybody is all up in arms about interviewing two minorities. An interview! ??‍♂️

     

    Who is up in arms about that?  People were up in arms about the draft pick plan.

    Tonight I make my major cable network debut on Discovery Channel's "After The Catch". Tune in for "Deadliest Catch" at 9PM and stick around for "After The Catch" immediately afterwards to witness stardom in the making. Tomorrow you all can say "you knew me when" I will also be making myself available for celebrity appearances.

    If they really cared, they would provide scholarships for minority grad assistants to get guys on track to be head coaches. I always felt that more white guys are in coaching because they learn at an early age their future in football is off the field

    This too. The programs for the league need to run parallel with a ground-floor effort if we're ever really going to have any kind of equity in this space. 

     

    I'd actually be interested to know what the pool of coaches are.  Having 70% of players being black actually might hurt when it comes to having a large pool of coaches.....................It seems most NFL coaches didn't play in the league.

    Mods, can you merge these two threads.  I’m sure it was an honest mistake by the OP.

     

    Like seeing the Rooney Rule trending on twitter, and reading the article attached.  And, coming back twice to be surprised that nobody is talking about the Rooney Rule, which is what I'm looking for in the subject line - and then finally deciding as much as I hate starting threads (I wonder why?), I want to see what everybody's thoughts are so I guess I'll have to start a thread myself.

    Former Sabres goalie Miller to hold auction in support of WNY relief

    ‘Proceeds will benefit Second Harvest Food Bank in Orange County, FeedMore WNY, and the Buffalo Police Athletic League.’

     

     

    Pretty damn cool. Props to Ryan Miller.

     

    Auctions seem the way to go.  That way you don't have aholes who don't give anything complaining - "What he gave $X.  He make $XXX.  That's like me giving a quarter!"  

  6. To be voted on:

     

    • If a team hires a minority head coach, that team, in the draft preceding the coach's second season, would move up six spots from where it is slotted to pick in the third round. A team would jump 10 spots under the same scenario for hiring a person of color as its primary football executive, a position more commonly known as general manager.
    • If a team were to fill both positions with diverse candidates in the same year, that club could jump 16 spots -- six for the coach, 10 for the GM -- and potentially move from the top of the third round to the middle of the second round. Another incentive: a team's fourth-round pick would climb five spots in the draft preceding the coach's or GM's third year if he is still with the team. That is considered significant because Steve Wilks and Vance Joseph, two of the four African-American head coaches hired since 2017, were fired after one and two seasons, respectively.

    I remember jogging in the 70s.  It seemed like every other car would have punks yelling ***** at you..................then even in the 90s, before my knee died, I would still get occasional taunts and garbage thrown at me.............If I was black, I'd say it was ONLY because I was black.

    If you think it's OK for the NBA and NFL to put age limits on when people can play, then we're just gonna disagree on that.  Whatever else Clarett might have done, he should have had a shot at the NFL.  Let him succeed or fail if a team wants to give him a chance.   

     

    Didn't he drink Grey Goose before every practice when he was with the Broncos?
