DEI is DEAD, is the Rooney Rule next?

[Salty Again]

... Now I'm getting blue... ... What are you lads on about??

As I already mentioned, the Rooney Rule does NOT mean
that a team has to HIRE a minority candidate.
The spirit of the rule is to expand the interview
process to include minority coaches. ... And NOT just
for the Head Coach or Manager positions.

So, that said - the Steelers are under NO Obligation
to keep Mike Tomlin - or even make another minority
hire - if that is even what Tomlin was.

... I reckon that the Steelers were interested in
Mike Tomlin as their head coach anyway. And this
Rooney Rule had little to do with that.

Ok Salty, the RR was created because 2 of the 3 black NFL coaches got fired in the same year, one of them was Tony Dungee, who I've met and admired, a great Steeler and coach.

It's only the Rooney rule because he led the committee that year.

But they embraced it early and hard, I'm not repeating history.

Tomlin has to go, two variables, owners, and head coach, one or both aren't working properly.

So, what is the number of black head coaches today?

[Devo]

11 of 32.

If, you base the number of NFL coaches by race, it would be 14 percent, a bit generous.

But, it's 34 percent, vs 9 percent the year before the RR was enacted.

Once the percentages deviate enough, a pattern is established, and black NFl coaches are being chosen over white coaches, and something I'd causing it.

What could that be?
