For those that think it's a 'bullshit token rule' tell that to Sherm Lewis, Marvin Lewis, Tony Dungy and plenty of the other coaches who weren't given a sniff for an interview for YEARS because the good old boy network was busy recycling the same names and faces over and over again.

It's really easy to sit on the perch of power and mock the lack of opportunity and delude yourself into believing a level playing field existed before the Rooney rule.

might have actually been better of had they not interviewed him

They went to the Super Bowl 3 years ago with Rex Freaking Grossman. I'd strongly beg to differ.

he won when he first got there, the past three years one winning season of 9-7, i'm just saying he is no mike tomlin and i was joking when i made the initial comment, since they are now talking about getting rid of him
