Is he though?

Some sort of sexual harassment allegations wouldn't surprise me, but the guy did hire Tony Dungy who won then a SB and then followed him up with Jim Caldwell who also took them to a SB appearance.

While certainly true, I don't believe the Rooney Rule gives credit for previous hiring history.  Irsay has to interview minority candidates for his HC opening and it is hard to imagine that any legitimate candidate will have a thinner resume than Jeff Saturday.

Kinda like........Rhule?

Compared to Saturday, Rhule was over qualified.

Irsay has hired Minority Candidates in the past so I doubt they would be able to prove he broke some sort of RHULE here. You like who you like and he likes Saturday.

Would be the 2nd worst hire in the past 5 years

Gold - Urban

Silver - Saturday

Bronze - Rhule

Would give Bronze to Nathaniel Hackett with Rhule trying his best to take that spot.

But hiring Saturday wouldn't be anything that someone could say "they passed over a qualified minority candidate to hire an unqualified Saturday" since you could literally say the same thing about all their white candidates as well.

Saturday is just the worst possible candidate from any race of their candidates, so not like this hire would cause any issues for Irsay in that sense.

Something is seriously off with that guy and a bunch of people are covering poo up and the media is complicit.

Yeah, hes very likely a stone cold drug addict.  Maybe multiple substances.  Dude is a nutcase.

And Reich put up a winning record in that dumpster fire

I'm certainly not an Irsay apologist, but this is one of those cases where (paraphrasing the old saying) I don't think you have to blame 'racist' for what can easily be explained by 'drunk and stupid'.

Ahh, yes, the tried and true excuse of many NFL owners over the years:  Your honor, who could possibly hold me accountable for my decisions?  After all, I'm drunk and stupid.  My lawyers will now submit years of supporting evidence to backup my claim.

He wouldn't need his lawyers to do that.

Plenty of people have seen that evidence already.
