PFT: Packers Have Already Interviewed Jim Caldwell And Chuck Pagano

[bobsfoodbasics]

And with that, they have already complied with the Rooney Rule

edit: Pagano as well

What a hilarious rule

[Mr. Scot]

The league actually added a bit to the Rooney Rule this year.

A lot of teams used to "comply" with the rule by claiming to have interviewed a minority assistant that was already on the coaching staff. the NFL is no longer accepting that. They now require that you interview somebody who's not currently employed by the team.

Of course, very few teams can compete with the overachievement the Panthers did in their GM search, interviewing three minority candidates that they had no intention of hiring before putting Marty Hurney back in place. The fact that Hurney was nowhere near as qualified as the people they passed over, of course, made no difference.

By the way, I thought the thread title said "Panthers" and was like "What the hell?!"

I suspect I'm not alone in that.

I met Caldwell when he was at Wake...I  was not impressed at all. I felt that he crawled into the league under Dungy's wing and inherited Manning.  I never thought he was that good--and I still think he is overrated.

Lord he was so bad at Wake Forest.
