Oh Jesus can we get rid of the fuckin' Rooney rule? White people are constantly berated and the highest targets of political and social racism in this Country. At least at the moment.

What's next? The Vagina rule where you have to interview one female? Actually God no... maybe I shouldn't say anything.

they interviewed Tee Martin, who is black
Also interviewed their tight ends, who is also black

A team with a minority GM shouldn't have to prove they give minorities a chance.

Every year or so there is at least one team who has their guy lined up and knows who they're going to hire and every year or so some fags want to bitch about the Rooney Rule.

If a team already has their guy they should just find a black player and bring one of their infant kids in for a "interview".
Implying they stick around to raise their kids

Why don't teams just schedule their 1st interview with an Aftican American so the get that outdated rule out of the way.

Hell, they can interview the AM from 8:00 to 10:00 take an early lunch, and have thier Gruden in at 12:00.

NFL should investigate Goodell's sister's ass. jerkoffs. They had Art Shell as a HC many years ago, that's ok in my book and good enough
Just Win Baby.


Rooney Rule is racist by trying to not be racist. Color should not matter. Good or bad.

Not bothering to interview someone they knew they wouldn't hire, cost Detroit 200K back in the day.


Millen knew Mooch was his guy. I think because he's friends with Tom Izzo. Not because he's Italian or from The UP.

Whether it is good for the franchise is debatable....probably not much...
But, The ROONEY RULE is a good thing for the so-called "sham" interviewees.

The no-chance unknown candidates get their names in the media.
Suddenly, obscure NFL assistants are named commodities to the fanbase. Fans help move owner decisions.

Chances are, there are at least a half-dozen people involved in the interview process, when those folks get promoted they might remember the candidate.

Even major colleges who dont have the financial resources to scour the NFL ranks are given great introductions. Several Rooney Rule guys got head coaching college gigs from the exposure.

Maybe, just maybe they dominate the interview and get the job unexpectedly.
and at the very least, they likely get salary increases from their existing employer worried about a loss.

It is 100% a WIN-WIN for these sham candidates.
They get more money, more exposure, more future options, and a slight chance of winning the job outright.

Shocking that certain raiders fans just dismiss this, however have LOTS to say about other teams.
