Hurricane Posted May 3, 2017 Share Posted May 3, 2017 Beane's interview will consist of the classic "role play" where he is asked to sign a hypothetical FA TE named Shmary Schmarnidge and a S Schme Schmoston claimed on waivers. If all goes well he picks out his office supplies and is introduced to a real estate agent who conveniently has a newly listed house right in OP perfect for a GM. I like this...

I wonder if Brandon already hired himself and has Overdorf tying up those pesky lose ends. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PromoTheRobot Posted May 3, 2017 Share Posted May 3, 2017 There is a Rooney rule for front office as well. Which, I am sorry, but I don't think the rule makes much sense other than being PC at this point. I know it has worked in the past but if a team wants who they want, they will hire who they want regardless of race. The whole idea was minorities were never considered because they never got these jobs. It's certainly better today but it doesn't hurt to encourage interviewing more people.

YoloinOhio Posted May 3, 2017 Share Posted May 3, 2017 (edited) I wonder if Brandon already hired himself and has Overdorf tying up those pesky lose ends."I know you are busy Jim, considering you are the only one in the entire front office right now. So Sean told me to draw up my contract myself so as to not disturb you ... and all you need to is sign righhht here... don't worry about that last paragraph where it says as a condition of my employment that a new contract/cap guy is brought in.... that's just fine print, you know all that 'lawyerese' crap!"

BillsFan17 Posted May 4, 2017 Share Posted May 4, 2017 The whole idea was minorities were never considered because they never got these jobs. It's certainly better today but it doesn't hurt to encourage interviewing more people.Im not saying it does 100%. I mean, if I recall, Tomlin got the Steelers job because of the rule. However, in today's day in age, with information so rapidly accessible... we more or less know who teams have pin pointed. So to go on an interview to more or less satisfy a rule is a little silly for both sides. I mean, you can say it gives the "candidiate" experience with the process, but again, to do something like that, knowing it is to satisfy a rule... The numbers more or less show the rule isn't necessarily get more minorities into coaching positions for example. I mean since 1997, out of 141 HC positions have became available, and 120 filled by whites. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dave mcbride Posted May 4, 2017 Share Posted May 4, 2017 So they're interviewing Brian Gaine. Gaine was Houston's director of pro personnel when they signed ... Brock Osweiler. Even I knew that Osweiler was a stiff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GunnerBill Posted May 4, 2017 Share Posted May 4, 2017 I was hoping he might be the Rooney Rule candidate...no such luck. Hopefully they are just doing their due diligence. He was really highly rated in Miami before ending up in Houston. I don't really know what his exact influence has been in either in Miami or Houston but I know he was rated.

frostbitmic Posted May 4, 2017 Share Posted May 4, 2017 I have a feeling this could be the shortest GM interview in the history of the NFL. Russ: What will you do to make this team better ? Beane: I'll assemble a great team of scouts and we'll get the players Coach McDermott wants Russ looks at Pegula and nods Terry: Do you want the job ? Beane: Yes Russ: First we have to satisfy the Rooney rule ... we'll have overlord draw up the contract. Oh by the way, do you know someone we could use, I mean interview ? Beane: Yeah, Don Gregory, I'll call him for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
