Rooney Rule Prospects

Everytime I hear the phrase "Rooney Rule" , I immediately think of this dude:

I personally don't think the Rooney Rule is a joke or that it is a bad idea. In fact, I think it is a good idea. There is an undeniable disparity between the "color composition" of coaching staffs and the players (no I don't think there is some grand conspiracy to keep minorities "down"). To the extent that the Rooney Rule affords minorities an opportunity to be heard, I have no problem with it.

I just think it should be up to an individual organization. I think that if qualified black coaches are overlooked by some owners then their organizations will suffer from it. In this day and age those black coaches will be picked up by more sensitive/smarter owners who recognize that its not a race issue but rather a talent issue, and their organizations will benefit from it. I guess my view is that if you are qualified, regardless of ur color of skin, u will be given an opportunity (in the NFL).
