Predict the "Rooney" interview

[CharlotteBeer.com]

And what? No one's picking Stan Kwan? :eek:

(you guys are just prejudiced against Asians) :sosp:

We all know Richardson's too cheap to pay someone like Stan Kwan.

[Captain Obvious]

The Herm Edwards

[Panthers128]

Alvin Greene

[DaCityKats]

the rule is bullshit.

[Pimpdaddy]

I'd say Meeks will get an interview, and it wouldn't really surprise me if he got the job.

If Meeks gets an interview and gets the job it'll go something like this... Think JR plays the bartender.

[Mr. Scot]

the rule is bullshit.

I have no problem with the rule.

If they were setting hiring quotas, I'd be annoyed. But requiring an interview? I think it works.

(equal opportunity, not equal outcome)

[Tarheels23]

I say Meeks

[Dpantherman]

Did Jerry Jones just get past the rooney rule???

[Mr. Scot]

Did Jerry Jones just get past the rooney rule???

He asked about a waiver earlier and was told a rather firm "no".

He'll have to at least go through the motions.

[Cat'sGrowl]

Rivera is my prediction.

I do think the rule is now kind of pointless.

There isn't an owner in the league who cares more about the color of someone's skin than they do about winning.

I think it now kind of gets in the way of teams going after their guy..

"Marty Hurney: Look, Mr. Harbaugh, your our only option, our number one guy, we want you to lead this team.

Jim Harbaugh: Really? That means a lot. I'll definitely put a lot of consideration into becoming a Carolina Panther.

**1 Week Later***

ESPN: Breaking news out of Charlotte. San Diego Defensive Coordinator Ron Rivera has been seen entering Bank of America Stadium. An inside source confirms he does have an interview scheduled for today

Jim Harbaugh: Why those lying sacks of..."

Kind of a poor example, but I stand by post!

I just the rule is out of date for the league.

[Highlandfire]

I'm gonna play it safe, stay in-house and say Brian Baker.

For the record, this year's Rooney Rule interview will be the first ever for the Panthers.

I wouldn't do it. I would hire who I want, pay the fine and move on. The rule is actually a violation of Labor law if a team wanted to press it. Just like you can't discriminate and NOT hire someone or interview them based on race, a team can't be forced to interview a minority.

Screw the NFL front office.

The "Rooney" rule is the definition of racism.

and it's just a completely stupid rule.

[King Taharqa]

There isn't an owner in the league who cares more about the color of someone's skin than they do about winning.

This is a business. To assume there arent owners more caught up in the bottom line and presenting a marketable image over winning is very naive. Even in the NBA you have owners like this. As much money as the NFL sees, Im sure there's quite a few. Owners are human beings just anyone else. The fact they even had to create a "Rooney" rule speaks volumes. The owners themselves know more than anybody how biased they are.

The "Rooney" rule is the definition of racism.

and it's just a completely stupid rule.

I agree, we should just say f**k the rule and interview this guy
