Who said anything about african amercians? What's the population of white people and people of color?

Robert Saleh & Ron Rivera? You missed a huge detail about the Rooney rule that makes the percentage of people it affects at about 4x your claim.

Again, no. Like, not at all. What you're saying is the opposite of true and the reason that things like The Rooney Rule exist. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Troy_Apke

Again, this is just a complete lack of the basic fundamentals of race dynamics. I would help illuminate the nuance, but based on your responses, I'm guessing that's not really what you're looking for. You seem to have quite a bit of resentment about minority coaches getting the bare minimum consideration, and you have some very, VERY outdated beliefs on race.

No. That's not how racism works.

They are. What's your next point? Oof, wrong direction. Please return to 1800.

Because players don't lose opportunities because they are white. You seem to be missing some fundamental understanding of racial dynamics and how they play out in the workplace and society at large.

I don't have a person in mind because truthfully I don't know what makes an offensive coordinator a good hire vs a bad one at a competency level. I would however prefer someone with playcalling experience who is known for a dynamic offensive philosophy and who caters more to the strengths of the players than a person who slams down a book and says "this is the offense I run". I don't want us to have to train someone on the job. We're ready to win now, so let's roll.

So white people make up 88% of the population? Interesting. Black people make up 12% of the population, but the rooney rule applies to persons of color, who make up 37% of the population. So yes, I would agree with the OP because of math. The math is even more galling when you consider the nuance of the racial disparity in a league where 75% of players are minorities and 75% of head coaches are white.

This guy is looking for work and probably fits The Process

That's what i said, but anyway, I agree 100%

I should have noted that I say this as someone who doesn't believe in "diversity hires". The best candidate should get the job - that can include reasons related to the nature of their "diverse" status. maybe they have unique perspective or have faced adversity others haven't. A minority shouldn't just get jobs because they're minorities though. That's not at all what the Rooney Rule is and it's not at all what happens as a result of it.

Did they take the Chiefs for granted? I think that's kind of a given. They're a better football team in pretty much every way.

I requires an interview. In other words it requires you to spend a couple hours of your time considering an option that's underrepresented. But please, tell us more about what a travesty it is.

This is just plainly wrong. Mahomes was sacked 4 times for 40 yards - at crucial times compared to 2 for 8 against us (one was a -.5 yard scramble). The Bengals got consistent pass rush and their corners dealt with the receivers much better. We gave Mahomes a 33/44-378-3-0 line with a 123 rating compared to 26/39-275-3-2 with a 91 rating against the Bengals. Big time sacks, shutting down the big plays, and getting sacks was the difference in the ballgame. The Bengals in no way outgunned our offense Our #1 defense was a bloated metric due to beating up trash opponents with one of the three easiest schedule sin the league. They fell flat against big time competition.

literally, yes. Did you even watch our game or the Bengals game? Defense is undeniably what cost us and won the Bengals that game, despite Burrow's gaudy box score.

Looks like Cinci did it with great secondary play and pass rush rush. That works too.

I would bet that saquon doesn't get traded at all and he's going to be the centerpiece of the offense. If he does, he won't go for any less than a 2nd a 3rd and a starting calibre player. When healthy he is a top back.

a slant.

Diggs is as much of a top-end WR as we need and Davis fills in great as a #2 and deep threat. beyond that it's important to get a player with some shiftiness for the slot, but they don't need to carry the kind of cap that Cole does. McKenzie on a bridge deal would be fine, otherwise I'll look for someone in the later rounds to compete with stevenson, hodgins and some value free agents. I think what would help us more than anything is a couple of really good pass catching and pass blocking RBs. They don't have to be top of the line, but NE has made hay with that committee based approach for years and I'd like to have someone like james white, kevin faulk, shane vareen, etc. A second TE that's not useless would be nice too.

The Giants aren't going to trade Barkley and they would be insane to do so for the awful compensation suggested. If they do take any of that, maybe we should get Jamarr Chase for a 5th and Pat Mahomes for Cole Beasley and a bag of footballs,

Milano is an impact player, but he didn't show up for us much when we needed him most.

As long as we're going to play a rush 4 defensive scheme, the answer has to be DL.Outside of a few select top-tier CBs, most can't lock down top WRs forever, so you depend on consistent pass rush to get there in order to force quicker throws. Yes, we've invested a lot in DL, but we haven't found our TJ Watt yet, so we shouldn't stop trying until we get one. MLB is is also a huge need in my book and if we let Levi walk, CB is also a need. All that said though, one dominant Dlineman makes everyone else on the defense better, so that's my pick.

This says everything there is to know about you.

And also runs through them.
