As someone mentioned, one of the goals of the Rooney Rule was to provide qualified minority coaches the chance to have interview and networking experience. The overall goal of the league is to diversify the coaching ranks, and this rule gives an opportunity for coaches, who traditionally would not even be interviewed, exposed to the head coach hiring process. St. Louis can eventually hire Haslett if they want to, I don't think this rule is not going to prevent the Rams from doing that, and the media shouldn't be blowing this out of proportion. I do think the NFL should give teams a break if they want to groom an assistant from their ranks, but Haslett doesn't fit this scenario though.
