Could just be my interpretation of the news stories though.

That is what he is claiming but while some call it a sham lets not forget what happen to the Colts and the Jets when named HC after accepting the job walked away. John Mara called Flores and told him he was high on their list personally but Mara also gave the New GM Schoen the call to make.


To add while the Rooney rule isn't perfect no laws were broken there was no discrimination.
