Having many minority coordinators doesn't mean many earned interviews. Ray Horton and Winston Moss are 2 that come to mind, and I believe Moss interviewed for the Oakland job last year, and Horton interviewed for the AZ job yesterday. Who else is so deserving that overlooking them is an issue?

I don't know. Actually I'm like many fans and don't know much about other teams coordinators until they start interviewing for head coaching jobs.

I don't look at coaches in terms of color. I look at them as coaches. I don't care if there are 100% black coaches 100% white coaches 100% latino coaches in the NFL or split up evenly. They are coaches. If they are qualified, they will get jobs and get interviews regardless of their color. It's just how it shakes out sometimes. We shouldn't even be looking at players or coaches in terms of percentages of color. We should be beyond that and just looking at them as people.

Some people always have race on their mind, so whenever they look at a situation they have to look at it in terms of color. How many white players on are this team? How many black coaches are on that team? Who the F cares?

And that is why you need the Rooney Rule. With that said, I think it will not be needed in the next 10-20 years.

Well, if the Rooney rule is needed after a 2 term black president, then something is wrong
