The Patriots reportedly have complied (https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/report-patriots-have-complied-with-rooney-rooney-as-to-their-g-m-search) with the Rooney Rule. Which is good, if it’s true, since executives from other teams are saying “no thanks” to the opportunity to interview for the vacant G.M. job in New England.

Via Albert Breer of SI.com, the Patriots expressed interest (https://x.com/AlbertBreer/status/1787894239734439972) in interviewing Bills director of player personnel Terrance Gray for the job. Gray “politely declined.”

If the Patriots haven’t already complied with the Rooney Rule (it’s unknown who they interviewed to do so), they’ll eventually have a problem. The widespread perception that Eliot Wolf will be getting the job could be prompting multiple candidates to pass on the opportunity to interview.

Good for him. F these sham interviews wasting people’s time.

Rooney Rule is an anachronism. There are plenty of people of color that get hired to management positions today in the NFL and I’m pretty sure they didn’t get their positions because of the Rooney Rule.

It had its time and place. That time has passed.

The rule and how it's manipulated is a joke.
