Teams should be allowed to interview and choose who ever they think is the best candidate, regardless of race. They also should not be forced to interview a minority candidate, especially if they don't have any minority candidates on their radar to be the head coach.

The NFL employs huge numbers of minorities; as players, assistants, head coaches, and officials, most of whom have done a fantastic job, both on the field and on the sideline. Has the Rooney Rule really done anything significant except appease those who would demand such a rule? It's overkill in my opinion. On the Redskins alone I think 7 or 8 coaches on staff are minorities.

I don't condone discrimination in any way, shape, or form. But given the state of the NFL as far as staff is concerned, I don't think the Rooney Rule is necessary or effective.
