Aren't we going to need to interview Bienemy, Leftwich, Caldwell, etc. per the Rooney rule?

That's what I'm thinking too. Just couldn't remember if the Rooney rule applied to any coaching vacancy reason (in our case, resignation/retirement) or firing.

What a day. We were just recently lauding this as one of CSP's best coaching years and a dark-horse COTY candidate especially had we made the playoffs.

I think we gotta interview at least one of them. Has New Orleans ever had a Black head coach?

Nope. Can't even remember a Black coordinator.

Uh, wouldn't Aaron Glenn satisfy the Rooney requirement?

Yeah, Glenn and Allen are first confirmed interviews. I don't know if he's ready but I assume history with as a Saints asst.

Leftwich just signed as the HC for the Jaguars. I think he will be a great fit there. Seems like he has a good offensive mind and as a former NFL QB he should be able to develop Lawrence.

Good for Byron and I'm glad he's getting a shot with the Jags.

There is talent in Jacksonville. Coach 'em up!
