Of course it was a sham, it was obvious from the get go. The Rooney Rule is a joke and totally disrespectful to minorities.

I don't blame the Cowgirls. Its the stupid ass rule. It's completely counterproductive.

Exactly. This rule was actually quite helpful when it was first established in 2003. But now its a complete joke. Look at all the black coaches who are good HCs. and have jobs. Tony Dungy, Raheem Norris, Lovie Smith, Mike Tomlin...
I don't think its much of a problem anymore.

Dingy isn't coaching and I don't think those guys needed that rule to get a gig. Who cares if teams abuse the rule. The fact is that it gets minority coaches an interview, a foot in the door. It's their job to impress.

I'm mentioning all successful black HCs in recent history...
And I know that those guys didn't need to have that rule, but its just that, IMO, racism in hiring NFL coaches isn't as big of a deal as it was, say, 10 years ago.
I know it still exists, but the Rooney Rule itself is racist. Its kind of ironic..

It would put a smile on my face if Dallas gets fined and take another loss

agreed. it's like saying hmm minority coaches aren't good enough to get jobs so lets give them a better chance by getting them a bulls**t interview that is being conducted just to fit this rule

Yeah but just the fact that the minorities name is thrown out there helps the minority. It puts a national spotlight on the candidate and other teams will look into the resume to see why he was considered

exactly. if the minority candidate had a chance for the job, it was because he's a good coach, and not cause of the rooney rule
