BREAKING NEWS: Cerrato resigns (Bruce Allen hired as VP/GM) - merged

[jsarno]

At least now we might be able to get back to the tracks (since we have been so far off of it for a long time). Great move skins! On board 110%!

Dan Patrick said that the Rooney Rule applies to front office/executive positions just as it does to head coaching positions.

Any truth to this? Were there any other interviews that have been made known?

Is that the racial rule?


Next thing you know, we'll be flagged for not interviewing a black, Native American or Hispanic candidate and accused of tampering again.

Snyder reportedly interviewed two minority candidates for the position.

Tony Dungy wouldn't interview unless he knew he was guaranteed the job. I don't think he wants to coach again. Why would any coach leave Peyton Manning unless they were really fed up with coaching?

I think that if Dungy was one that Snyder did a hell of a job keeping it out of the media.

Interesting article, and probably one of the first by SJ that I didn't have issues with:

Sally Jenkins - Bruce Allen's first task with Redskins: Repair the fissures of Vinny Cerrato's making - washingtonpost.com

[JLee9718]

Just when I thought Vinny would somehow hang onto his job, which I dreaded, I get this news and I couldn't be happier. This is surely an early Christmas present.

I hate the Rooney rule. I'm not racist at all but i believe a team should have the right to interview and hire whoever they want.

How do you think those african american candidates feel? knowing that they are getting their interview just so a team can get around the rule....they dont think about that...

I think the purpose was to get those candidates some exposure and not necessarily hire them. But please let us not turn this thread into a Rooney rule thread.

Yeah it's sad that we have to have things like the Rooney rule. However, prior to that rule almost no minority coaches were being interviewed.
