Rooney Rule Prospects

DynamiteRave · 01-10-2008, 09:26 PM

Nobody has really talked about this in depth so... Who do you think the Redskins might interview in favor of this rule? So far I think I've heard mention around here for Dennis Green and Mike Singletary.

I keep hearing Singletary as a HC candidate for the various jobs but is he qualified? Obviously, the man is a hall of fame player but other than being a linebackers' coach, waht experience does he have? You'd think it would still be too soon to hand him the reigns. But conversely, I think people said the same thing about Jack Del Rio.

He's more than qualified, players respect him and he's a great coach and motivator. 2 names Ray Lewis and Patrick Willis, after Singletary left Baltimore so did Ray Lewis play (maybe age also had something to do with it) and who's all-pro this year and a rookie? Willis.

They can just "interview" Byner, Blache, Hixon, Gray, or Stephen Jackson and call it a day.

Or they can call me. I'm two minorities!

Rooney Rule prospects? Can we just can them minorities lol? I understand you are not trying to be politically correct but to me the title just looks silly,
as a minority.

As for SS, half Indian and half Hispanic(I want to say Cuban?).

I'm a minority but I dunno. I didn't think of it as minorities. Like I said in the Tiger Woods thread, I have a hard time thinking of things in terms of race. To me they're just prospects under the Rooney Rule, not, "Black dudes, getting interviewed".

I hear you. I really don't see colors. The only reason I know I'm white is that the country club I belong to wouldn't have let me in otherwise.

Clearly, this is a joke. Let's see who's panties get twisted.

Blache and possibly Gray. Otherwise, no

Chances are Tomlin wouldn't have been even interviewed by the Steelers if it weren't for this rule. Just saying.

saden1 · 01-11-2008, 12:01 PM

Why are they a joke? Every interview is meaningful because that's when you actually learn something about somebody. Player's are mostly evaluated based on potential and so should coaches. When Gibbs was hired in 80, he was a nobody as far as everyone was concerned.

Anywho, I hate it when people don't really know you yet have a negative perception of you.

SmootSmack · 01-11-2008, 12:09 PM

Well I don't think Joe Gibbs was a nobody. Maybe more of a nobody to the average fan, because back then the average fan didn't have the same access to the league that he/she does today.

I do agree that they are not a joke though. Apart from from the interviewer learning something from the interviewee, it also allows the interviewee to sharpen his interview skills.
