    Rooney Rule

    Time for Rooney Rule discussion because it wouldn't be a Bills off-season without it.

    Do you have to meet the Rooney Rule if you promote internally? Thinking about what it takes to promote Schwartz

    I believe that the Rooney Rule is all encompassing, so yes.

      Re: Rooney Rule

      I think this rule is so out-dated.
      I remember that one fateful day when Coach took me aside. I knew what was coming. "You don't have to tell me," I said. "I'm off the team, aren't I?"
      "Well," said Coach, "you never were really ON the team. You made that uniform you're wearing out of rags and towels, and your helmet is a toy space helmet.
      You show up at practice and then either steal the ball and make us chase you to get it back, or you try to tackle people at inappropriate times."
      It was all       true what he was saying. And yet, I thought something is brewing inside the head of this Coach.
      He sees something in me, some kind of raw talent that he can       mold. But that's when I felt the handcuffs go on.

        Incredibly out dated. To me it exposes a man for his skin color rather than offer him an opportunity. I don't think there is an owner in the league that wouldn't hire a black guy for being black. Owners are in it to win it and rake in money.

          It's like reverse racism. We're interviewing you because we have to. We've already made up our mind on who we want but we have to bring you in hear for the hell of it.

              Who's going to be the token black guy who gets interviewed by 10 teams this offseason and doesn't receive a single offer

                Bowles & Hamilton are legitimate candidates who the Bills should interview. If they want to hire a current OC for HC, they could do good by putting a Pep in their step.

                  Does it count if the Black guy is doing the interview?

                    I remember Ted Cottrell was that guy back in the days.

                      When applying for a job - on that form that they claim has no effect on your chances - always check "Other."

                          Do they at least compensate these guys for wasting their time?
