Love the rule but also hate it and this the reason why. You know that 90% of the interviews being given out are strictly because they have to.

shyt I won't lie, when the Steelers hired Tomlin my first reaction was "shyt they had to, the rule is THE ROONEY RULE...how the hell aren't they gonna have a Black coach".

I wonder how many assistant coaches and coordinators are Black.

They actually interviewed rivera before tomlin, fulfilling the rooney rule before they ever got to mike.

The rooney rule requires we interview a minority coach and we did. We're in compliance with the NFL rules and now we're free to hire whoever we want.
