Report: Shanahan in Talks with Redskins

[T.O.Killa]

Shanahan, wow, lets talk about him and someone start a Rooney rule thread. Are there any updates.

[Eknox]

I see where this is going and I will not waste my time with such ignorance, now you all have a face!

[vallin21]

As a white guy who has some black friends, it just baffles that we still have some ignorant people that think the Rooney Rule is crap. If you're not a minority you can't say anthing about what it takes or how it feels for them to even get an oppurtunity like a Coach or GM.

Bro well said, but don't waste your time with this ignorant shit..... I am Black and I would be joyed to death to have Shanahan as our Coach, But to stomp on something that gives people oppourtunity.... is stupid and not sure Why no Mod or Matty has stepped in and put a muzzle on these idiots?

Don't look at it as a stomp on opportunity. Without the rule it was okay to interview minorities too. There were black coaches before the rule. I don't have a problem with the Rooney Rule existing but it's a bit demeaning when a team has who they want or a shortlist, and if it doesn't include a minority, them having to find one.

There's nothing wrong with having a black coach, a white coach, a hispanic coach, whatever the case may be. There is something wrong if you have to interview a minority but don't have to interview a non-minority though in my opinion. Either way the better guy should get the job, but let it work both ways.

The Rooney Rule is not crap. What's the harm for non-minorities, if a minority gets an interview?

[CRedskinsRule]

Personally, I think one human of every ethnic group/sexual orientation/gender should be interviewed for every job available. Further, the presidency ought to be changed from a one person job to a cooperative hegemony, again with one of every ethnic group/sexual orientation/gender represented. Further, the UN should have multiple representatives from every nation one for every ethnic group/sexual orientation/gender.

Granted nothing would get accomplished, but hey BONUS!

I'll say it again - what's the harm of ONE minority being interviewed?

none I was being sarcastic towards the whole debate. It's a simple rule, it's not the end of the world, it's also not salvation in a handbasket. It's just a rule.

Denver is now reporting its pretty much a done deal, he should be named coach soon.

Well that will be the report for at least the next 2 weeks. There is no way that we tear apart the staff before the two NFC East games.

[SolidSnake84]

I heard them say just earlier that he would be named by the end of the day.....

I think this is all for next season, he already said he wasn't taking a team over during the season. So I'm sure this will just be for next year, all fine by me.
