As a minority, I have to say the rooney rule is a joke. I dont think race has anything to do with uneven footing for interviewing for a HC position. Especially not so in a league where minorities are the majority in terms of players. Owners already know who they are going to pick regardless of who they are required to interview and often times only pay lip service to the rooney rule anyway. If an owner realizes that a black man can motivate his players (the majority of whom are black) he will try to find a qualified black candidate. He doesn't need an artificial formula (of how many minority candidates to interview) dictating how he conducts his search. Now that Dungy has won the superbowl and other black coaches have had success/shown their abilities as HC's, the football community will naturally look to them when there are coaching vacancies. It should be whoever is best for the job PERIOD b/c everyone has an equal opportunity for success (at least when it comes to football).
