@Montucky came back to CCS like Alex Jones on crack.
But there is no way to prove your assertion. This becomes a case where you cry about the Rooney rule anytime you feel someone is a weaker candidate or you claim the Rooney Rule isnt the reason Poles or Brad Holmes got a job because well they would have been interviewed anyways. Ignoring of course they may have been one of those weaker candidates in a previous hiring cycle who got an interview and feedback which helped prepare them for the job they did get.
I'm not supporting it or commenting on it in any way except to say that teams need to comply with it, and complaining that the Bears will do so before making a hire is ignorant of how the process needs to play out. A team cannot make a hire without having satisfied the requirements.
He knows what team he wants the other 2 teams is there to get a better contract in terms of years and dollar amount.
No, your reply that you think I missed makes my point.
There's no way to prove your assertion either which was my point anyway.
The reality is the Bears have interviewed a wide variety of lesser known candidates whether they are white or minority so don't think George is strictly Rooney rule. He is likely in the category of guys like Campbell, Stenavich, Smith, Weaver, Kafka, Petzing where the Bears want to hear different ideas and possibly get a head start on building out the staff.
Well it is the right place to have a whole host of hookers to choose from that will start and finish for the right amount of money.
Yup. It’s about opportunity. Doesn’t mean they are considering you. But maybe, just maybe, you can persuade them, and they change their minds. Later in the future, it will be more diverse. But let’s not forget, if the owner thinks a specific person is their best candidate for the head coach, it because of what they bring to the table. No matter what skin color they have. If that means 27 owners thought that 27 Hispanic guys were the best candidate for their teams, that’s just what it was. They just happened to be Hispanic. Same goes if they were black, white, etc.Not to derail the thread, so I will just do the one reply.
I think you are forgetting the genesis of the Rooney Rule and how long it's been around. It was implemented in 2003. At the time it implemented, there had only ever been a total of 6 minority HC's in the NFL. In it's entire history.
It's pretty dumb to think that the Rooney rule has had no effect in giving minorities a chance that they otherwise probably would not have gotten over the past 20+ years.
Although, I do think the even bigger effect now is how they have carried it down to the coordinator level - especially at OC.
IMO, it gives people a chance that they probably would otherwise not receive to learn the process, learn what owners and GM's are really looking for, and hopefully get feedback to make themselves better. At least that's how I think of it.
