charger77 Posted January 24, 2011 Share Posted January 24, 2011 How exactly does the Rooney Rule work? I know every rule and reg about the NHL but not so much about the NFL so I got to thinking...Do the Vikings still have to interview a minority candidate since they promoted Leslie Frazier since he came from within the organization?What about the Cowboys? Do they have to interview a minority candidate after promoting in house?Lets say an established coach like Bill Belichick or Mike Tomlin left their jobs can another team just hire them or do they have to go through the motions of a Rooney Rule interview?Also (not to be crass) what constitutes a minority candidate?

Generic midseason "interim" hires do not count towards 2.So case by case.Vikings don't need to interview an additional minority since Leslie Frazier is blackCowboys did have to have a Rooney Rule interview to take the interim tag of off Jason GarrettIf you wish to hire Belichick you're going to have to do an additional interview of a minority. If you wish to hire Mike Tomlin, you will not (as he is black). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the admiral Posted January 24, 2011 Share Posted January 24, 2011 Ron Rivera has been a Rooney Rule interview, and he's Puerto Rican, so the minority candidate doesn't have to be black, but obviously, it's specifically meant to help black people. Nobody laments the legions of Pakistanis who can never go beyond being mere players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigEd76 Posted January 25, 2011 Share Posted January 25, 2011 Saints DB coach Dennis Allen is the new defensive coordinator of the Broncos....which means the Eagles' guy is likely on the Packers (Trgovac or Moss)... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NEW.ERA Posted January 25, 2011 Share Posted January 25, 2011 Blaine Gabbert is probably the number one QB in the draft so you can ink him most likely as the guy that will possibly ruin Jimmy Clauses's career but I hope not. Minny seems to be the most likely to take a run at an already proven QB or at least one that's ready to step in to a veteran laden lineup, Carson Palmer would look decent in purple. Him, Kolb or Ryan Mallett will be the Vikings next quarterback just a prediction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigEd76 Posted January 25, 2011 Share Posted January 25, 2011 I don't think it's a done deal that Carolina is taking a QB #1 with Luck being out. They may go with Bowers or Fairley instead... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jigga Posted January 25, 2011 Share Posted January 25, 2011 There is no way in hell Carolina is taking a QB at #1. That's the done deal. Even if they wanted to take a QB, Gabbert at #1 overall is completely and totally ri-damn-diculous. If they aren't going to be able to trade out of that pick (and frankly, who would really want it that badly), they're going to probably take either Bowers or Fairley (I'd rather have Bowers). They are also going to suck out loud enough to pick up Luck with next year's #1 pick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rams80 Posted January 25, 2011 Share Posted January 25, 2011 But you have to take a quarterback with the #1 Overall pick. It's a rule or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cujo Posted January 27, 2011 Author Share Posted January 27, 2011 Okay, so it's getting pretty intense over the Twitter feed. First, we had the whole Jay Cutler situation, in which about a dozen players called him out for sitting out the 2nd half of the NFCCG. And now it gets even crazier. This time between Antonio Cromartie and Matt Hasslebeck, which starts with a deleted tweet, and ends with a threat. LinkWhat bothers me about all this is that all these 'tough guys' hide behind a computer screen, and would NEVER spit this kind of stuff into a mic or to a reporter. How refreshing would it be if they actually came out behind the Twitter feed and just said what they really felt face-to-face? Instead they talk their sh-t, then back it up with a "Lol, just joking" or "Somebody hacked my account, for reals". Give it time, Goodell is gonna put the whole thing on lockdown so players won't have the option to be chickensh-t anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wish, for once, they would.Cromartie has an anger problem, makes you wonder if one day when a threat actually happens on the field. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drakonius26 Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 Yeah, he'll probably lose his mind for a split second and pull a Woody Hayes, Marty McSorley, or Todd Bertuzzi, and then be banished from the league after that. Or if the league locks-out in 2011, he might just lose his mind in a public place and end up going to jail after an altercation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Jets fronted him money before the season, and those who saw Hard Knocks remember this: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nobody was going to hire John Fox. They should've just waited up until the Draft to see if any good playoff coordinators became available, or something.That's strike one, Mr. Elway!

Being a successful Arena Football owner does not make one entitled to have success at the professional level. Although, I wouldn't expect much from someone who calls Jim Harbaugh "Jack Harbaugh," or Mike Mularkey "Mark Mularkey." I think I might be the only one who anticipates his role as Executive Vice President of Football Operations to go that smoothly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lights Out Posted January 28, 2011 Share Posted January 28, 2011 Dean, AJ, this is your cue... Fire Norv! How can Fisher be fired while Norv is allowed to keep his job? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drakonius26 Posted January 28, 2011 Share Posted January 28, 2011 Because Dean is a cheapo who's unwilling to truly invest in his team, and A.J. Smith suffers form an inflated sense of self-worth and can't possibly share the spotlight with someone of Fisher's quality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
