One of the first things that went through my mind when they said Lovie Smith was on the list was "apparently Donahoe has checked off his box early in the process."
I think that Smith could be a wonderful coach in this league but he now is at the top of the minority list in the NFL right now and will be interviewed by 5 teams and counting this offseason.
This could be a huge detriment to his career. I don't have an answer as to what the right policy should/could be but this isn't it.
At some point a minority coach is going to blast this policy calling it token and wrong.
I'm not saying that all interviews will be token, but you have to agree that some will.
