The Rooney Rule, which requires NFL franchises to interview at least one minority candidate for head-coaching jobs, is a good thing. But it's not working. However, CBS Sports NFL Insider Jason La Canfora reports the Rooney Rule will probably undergo changes in 2013, with the rule likely being expanded to include coordinator and assistant head-coaching positions. League sources tell La Canfora there is strong support for Rooney Rule expansion in 2013 that will require NFL teams to interview a minority candidate for all coordinator and assistant head-coaching positions. Additionally, La Canfora reports the yet-to-be-proposed expansion would pass easily. Source: CBS Sports
All this rule does is disrespect minority candidates by wasting their time. Nobody is avoiding coaches like Tomlin.
Again, I will say that this should be abolished, not expanded. If there aren't any qualified minority candidates, then teams shouldn't have to waste their time. If a team already has a guy in mind, they shouldn't have to give another team time to swipe him.
Freaking dumber rule than the original Rooney Rule...much dumber. Roger should have to re-apply for his job too. Last time I checked, he was pretty white...just saying...
