Baker and Lamar will start the same number of Super Bowls. 4 "The views expressed here are mine and do not reflect the official opinion of my employer or the organization through which the Internet was accessed."

throwuascenario Posted February 3, 2022 Share Posted February 3, 2022 With Harbaugh announcing he's staying with Michigan, it looks like my Panthers are stuck with Rhule for another year. It was a pipedream, but I really thought we had a shot at excising that cancer from our organization. Oh well, I guess we'll have to wait a year. Sadly, this means we have virtually no shot at bringing Cam back and do have a realistic chance of running it back with Darnold. May as well just skip to 2023. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Otherwise no matter how much I think it is true, it’s ultimately a he said/he said situation. Only way you’ll force change is if there is irrefutable evidence. Knowing how well the average Boomer/Silent Generation person does with technological security, I don’t anticipate this being hard to find. I don't disagree that having actual documented correspondence would be ideal, but if more coaches and ex-coaches begin to share similar stories, it'll become too big to ignore. You'e already got Hue Jackson and Brian Flores. It's easy to dismiss one as he said/he said, but if more stories like this comes out it'll only empower more to follow. Then the league has a real problem on its hands. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just saw that. It wasn't so much that he walked back the comments, but when asked about them directly on a national platform it became clear that his circumstance was nothing at all like Brian Flores'. In other words, there's a difference between being paid to tank (Flores) and being paid to lead an intentionally weak roster (Jackson). 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cujo Posted February 3, 2022 Share Posted February 3, 2022 Disclaimer: I'm usually the first to point out racism when I see it, but.. Some of these allegations made by Brian Flores kinda just comes off as sour grapes. Let's start with the Broncos and them not taking an interview with Flores serious. John Elway and crew showing up disheveled, possibly hungover (if he actually was) isn't racism. In fact, Elway and the Broncos had just hired Vance Joseph two years prior. I'm sure Flores might've felt slighted by the whole ordeal, I'm not taking that away from him. But from what been put out there form both sides, this isn't clear-cut racism as he may view it. Also, the allegations in regards to that dipsh1t owner in Miami, while alarming, also not screaming "racism" to me. Stephen Ross wanted to lose games for a better pick and allegedly offered a bonus to Flores if the team took Ls. Yea, it's a very :censored:ty situation to be placed. But would Ross have asked any other coach to tank under the same circumstances? My gut says "probably". The Giants allegation is the only one with some merit in regards to racism. As we know, when a team targets one specific coach from the get-go, they still go thru the motions, bring in a number of candidates, and "get that Rooney Rule interview out of the way." Now if NY offered the job to Daboll, verbally or in writing, before they interviewed a black candidate, then they really slipped up. All teams have likely done this, but they do it in the correct order, interviewing a minority before making the hire. Why Flores still went to that interview when he knew Daboll is somewhat puzzling, but that's honestly besides the point. All this being said, I think we can all agree the Rooney Rule is so incredibly flawed. I honestly don't know what the NFL will be able to do to 'fix this', short of forcing teams to hire minority head coaches. Hopefully this lawsuit opens some eyes and progress is made down the road. Unfortunately, Flores, outside of rejoining back to Belichick's staff, will likely be blackballed for speaking up, which also speaks to racism amongst league owners and brass. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DG_ThenNowForever Posted February 3, 2022 Share Posted February 3, 2022 There's also the thought that Black coaches get the hook sooner than white coaches. I'm sure there's data to back that up, and if you think about Jackson and Flores being given rosters and instructions to tank, it makes it that much harder for them to find that next job. Why would the Giants care about a Dolphins instruction to lose if they can't prove it was or wasn't Flores who was responsible? I think Flores had multiple really frisky Dolphins teams in spite of QB drama and instructions to lose. He probably deserved another shot and now he's not going to get it. Is that racism? Or is the better question, can you say it isn't? 6 1 hour ago, ShutUpLutz! said: and the drunken doodoobags jumping off the tops of SUV's/vans/RV's onto tables because, oh yeah, they are drunken drug abusing doodoobags Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DoctorWhom Posted February 4, 2022 Share Posted February 4, 2022 I do feel bad for Flores, it looked like he finally got things to click with the team in Miami. IDK how far he'll get with the lawsuit. It's going to be hard for him to prove any racist intent, especially when it could just be a bad coincidence (finding their guy before the rooney rule). It does bring a fair point though that there probably are a lot of teams that view the rule more as a chore to be checked off than a serious interview. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
