KDIGGZ Posted May 7 Share Posted May 7 TG is actually going to get one of these GM jobs soon. He's very well regarded around the league. He doesn't need to go to any fake Rooney rule interviews. 1 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The problem with every minority interview is that is could be a pity interview to meet a requirement. Any team may know who they want. But the Rooney rule makes them have to satisfy a requirement which is to me is unfair to the minority candidate 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ToGoGo Posted May 7 Share Posted May 7 It’s pretty clear the Bills believe their arch rival are the Patriots and not the Chiefs. Say what you want about the Chiefs but they don’t cheat their way into their Super Bowls. 2 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, while the Rooney Rule is a sham, giving a 3rd round pick to a team for hiring a minority goes too far the other way. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TwistofFate Posted May 8 Share Posted May 8 The Rooney Rule is trash and should be abolished. It serves no purpose at all. Teams have a good idea of who they want and the Rooney rules does jack squat to influence anyone. It's a charade. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
transient Posted May 8 Share Posted May 8 Maybe Gray should take the interview, get offered the job, give them the impression a deal is in place, and then shop that deal to Carolina for a better offer. They can feel jaded by their naivety all over again. 1 5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How do we know that's because of the RR though? That would seem logical if people with lesser or undistinguished coaching histories have been hired, but coaches are hired because of their distinguished pay performance as coaches. No?

The league rightfully has chosen to make their head coaching ranks look more like the player representation and so far it has paid off big time, because in 2024 minority head coaches are at the highest number in league history. That is true progress, and the Rooney Rule being in place is a good thing even if there is no "AHA!" data proving that it directly led to the hires. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
