BB: Ahh, I don't know. I just gotta text better. Attorney: But who were you trying to text? BB: yeah I already answered that. Nobody texted well all day. BB: We need to get to Cincinnati...do they have any coaches named Brian? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s one of those having to address the elephant in the room things that teams are likely just interviewing guys they have no interest in hiring to fulfill the Rooney rule.

Boatdrinks Posted February 1, 2022 Share Posted February 1, 2022 3 minutes ago, JohnNord said: There’s definitely racism in hiring. I don’t think Flores is the best example though. Leslie Frazier or Eric Bienemey would be better examples Oh god, Frazier or Bienemey haven’t gotten a HC job due to their race? There’s zero evidence of this. Idiotic to suggest there is. 4 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That being said, they did do two interviews with Frazier as well so it's not like they violated the rule.

BuffaloBillyG Posted February 1, 2022 Share Posted February 1, 2022 5 minutes ago, FrenchConnection said: I'm sure that all of this is nothing new. As someone mentioned above, Frazer interviewed with the NYG after Daboll too. But because Flores realized that he's not getting another HC job because of all the stuff that Ross and the Dolphins' GM is spreading around the league about him being difficult to work with, he decided to torch all the bridges to get one final NFL payday before going to college. That's my speculation. College isn't bringing him in. If he interviews and doesn't get it I wouldn't risk the lawsuit if I was the AD.

How are you supposed to break in that old boys network? It's a multi-billion dollar lawsuit. Look at the disgusting criminals that still put a uniform on every Sunday! Why do they get repeated chances? Because whoever puts the team in position for most wins, WILL see the field. There's no racism towards hiring coaches. If there is nepotism, its because of familiarity. Every time a new HC comes in they clean out the whole old staff for "their guys."

Dr. Who Posted February 1, 2022 Share Posted February 1, 2022 25 minutes ago, Gugny said: I think an admission that your team went through the motions simply to comply with the rules should still come with a penalty; regardless of how one feels about the rule. I think the rule invites that kind of hypocrisy. You can disapprove of it, but there isn't going to be any legal sanction to address it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FilthyBeast Posted February 1, 2022 Share Posted February 1, 2022 Another potential massive subplot here to monitor is does this story lead to Belichik stepping down as Patriots HC and retiring because of the unintended distraction? While he certainly didn't do anything wrong here, he's never going to be able to dodge the media asking about this over and over again throughout the offseason and into next year. Would really suck if that's how the best head coach in NFL history's career comes to an end.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
