    So why has no black head coach been hired thus far?  Has any even received an interview?

    There's been a lot of whining out there amid these recent coach hiring's, both on TV and op eds.

    An Hispanic coach has been hired:   Rivera.   The Rooney rule does not just apply to blacks, but to any of a number of minorities.  Hispanic, Asian, Samoan, Hawaiian.  Native American......Arabic/Middle eastern (Saleh).   I say BS to the Rooney Rule not working.  It worked pretty well a couple of years back when like 3 out of 4 vacancies were filled with African American coaches.

      I think we are exempt from the Rooney Rule for the next 25 years because of Jackson Farmer and Brown..

            I wonder why a guy who referred to someone as a "Jew Boy" would start a thread wondering about the relevance of the Rooney Rule. 

            I wonder.

              I wonder why I'm so in your head.

              You must be one.

                The Rooney Rule is a joke right on par with Affirmative Action..... Both are detrimental to America and the league

                  I don't think so.  Like anything of this nature, it has its purpose, but it is not perfect.

                    Not really. Affirmative Action demands quotas. Quotas that can discriminate against better qualified people.

                    The Rooney Rule is there only to assure that minorities are given equal opportunity.

                    Its about equal opportunity, not equal outcomes.

                      I agree, it’s not such a bad rule. In the grand scheme of things another guy gets an interview. No big deal. Worst case scenario the guy gets valuable experience going through the interview process. 

                      I’m fairly convinced that in Marvin’s case both parties knew what was going on and went through the motions to satisfy the rule. And l guess that’s ok too as long as both sides get what they wanted out of the deal. 

                      At least it didn’t waste some poor guy’s time who was legitimately hopeful of getting the job only later to find out he was being used to satisfy the rule. That’s where things get icky because it reduces people to an ethnic background.

                        I believe Bienemy was interviewed by the Browns and at least one other team.
