Jauronimo Posted January 9, 2020 Share Posted January 9, 2020 14 minutes ago, PatsFanNH said: IMO this year teams are hiring before they do their do diligence. Every one of them (except Cleveland) made a decision in a weeks time.. not allowing any current coordinators to interview (white, black, Martian) and ALL before they talked to McDaniels who is suppose to be this hot commodity this year again. (He has earned a new HC job even if I believe his entire success is because Brady made him look good.) McDaniels would already be a HC if he hadn't left Indy at the altar in favor of some shady redux of the Belichick-Parcells succession deal. Why would anyone in their right mind bring McD in after he reneged on the Indy position? 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billsfan_34 Posted January 9, 2020 Share Posted January 9, 2020 Minorities are interviewed for each HC job- some get job, some don’t. Seems to work ?♂️ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buffalobillswin Posted January 9, 2020 Share Posted January 9, 2020 I love that in 2020 the white man feels like he’s being oppressed at every turn. But I guess when you come from privilege, equality can seem like oppression Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DrDawkinstein Posted January 9, 2020 Share Posted January 9, 2020 The Rooney Rule is fine. And it is working just fine. Anyone throwing around terms like "SJW" is just as bad an extremist as Stephen A, just to the opposite extreme. Fact is (or WAS), the NFL really was a good ol boys club. Hard to break into for anyone from the outside. The Rooney Rule opened doors to interviews and made Front Offices familiar with coaches they may never had met without it. So Stephen A, and the Rule Haters, can all quit crying. Live your lives. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can only speak for myself. I was most definitely the latter and worse off than that. I grew up in the 70s/80s. Given where I grew up, I was under the impression for most of my life that everything I achieved was simply due to my awesomeness and a lot of it was. Now that I'm older, I can look back and say that being a fairly well-spoken white-guy has offered me a relatively frictionless life. It is impossible for me to say which opportunities I may have been denied or what other hurdles I would have had to clear if I was black. I have only walked in my shoes. But I listen in when black people describe their experiences and I try to process it all. I try to process what it means when a black mother tells her son he needs to be perfect because society (generally) won't tolerate anything less from a black male. There was a great NYT piece that statistically showed that black kids who have wealthy parents have much poorer outcomes and are much more likely to drop income levels than comparable white kids. What is missing in your scenario is education. If you told me both kids took their k-12 education seriously, then I would say the latter will have infinitely more privilege than the former. However, if the latter doesn't value their education, then it comes dicier. 16 minutes ago, whatdrought said: Don't bother with this schmuck. I like him/her.
