Will be fun watching the Rs fall for this. An election is coming up this year and 75%of Americans think the economy is in the tank. Time to drag out the old stand bys. Racism (Republicans don't want a Black woman in SC). Facism. Book burning. Note to Republicans if they want to win: IT'S THE ECONOMY STUPID. Don't fall for it, but they will. As far as the book burning thing we are going through that in my hometown. A liberal group just got "To Kill a Mockingbird" off of the reading list cuz it contains the N word and promotes white saviorism. This is hardly a one side thing.

Who's ever in the majority does it and whoever is in the minority complains about it.

Are they going to also add urinals to the girls bathroom for all standing peeers?

Makes me wonder if Justice Breyer and Tommy have the same agent.

Good point. Thanks. I understand the opportunity aspect and support it. But racial equity in the results is what the argument is about. That's the whole reason this came up. Blacks are 14% of the population but only 3% of the NFL HCs are Black. Jim Caldwell Herm Edwards Lovie Smith

I posted 5 or 6 examples, one from this thread and 4 or 5 from the Tee thread. You'll have to ask them why.

Here's one for example: But is it really a racist thing? Teams are required by rule to do so. Here's a few more from the Tee thread first page:

Of course they do and of course they are. My question is why is it somehow OK to to have racial equity out of whack in one area (players) of the organization and not in another (coaching)?

Good point. Thanks for the correction. 🙂 So 9 years. I believe he has interviewed several years while here.

Do you think either of these guys would NOT have been hired sans Rooney rule?

How do you know its not the same? Can you name a case where a black coach was not hired cuz he was black?

We have had a SB between teams with black coaches.

Perhaps but there hasn't been one for 18 years. In the program I saw Marv Lewis said they don't scout white CBs.

Are you sure about this? https://fourvertsfootball.com/white-cornerbacks-in-the-nfl/ I saw a program where this was being discussed on NFL channel or ESPN. NFL teams don't even scout white CBs. High School and college coaches tell their white gifted athletes to not play CB cuz they know they'll never have a chance of even being looked at by NFL teams. Jason Seahorn was a fluke cuz his coach saw him playing basketball and knew he could do it.

Why is it OK to have a racial disparity in players but not coaches?

Yes. No Bill Bellyache and no Tommy makes reddogblitz a happy dog.

The Rooney Rule I assume was started with good intentions. But I hate to see now that whenever a minority coach is interviewed the assumption is he was interviewed to check the rooney box. See above. Look at our DC. He gets interviewed ever year but hasn't landed a job in 15 years. We even interviewed him when we hired Coach Gailey for that purpose. We travelled to him and talked about 15 minutes so we could say we did. It was obvious. I'm sure some good has come out of it but it seems to me minority coaches are being used in the process.

I literally LOL out loud every time I see John McEnroe get hit and spill his orange drink and say "You can't be serious". Maybe one had to have watched too many Borg McEnroe matches live to get it. But I agree the rest of them get old.

I'm hoping football follows baseball's lead and doesn't let the cheaters in.

Good riddance to bad rubbish. Now he can take his cheating to a beer belly softball league or use it when playing scrabble with Geselle. We'll never really know how good he really was or wasn't cuz he cheated.

So? He'd be worth it. You get what you pay for. For what we'd get it sounds cheap.

Barkley is injury riddled. Not interested. NO is in a similar position. I'd go after Kamara instead.

What was Jamie trying to do here?

I'm all for dumping him provided we can find someone better. Only lining up 13 yards back vs the Steelers resulting in a blocked punt/TD still bugs me.
