Herm Edwards: Saints are making a mockery of the Rooney Rule

LivnaLieTimay · 03-29-2012, 03:25 PM

As Saints fans we need to accept that everything we do is going to be criticized by someone. Every year, teams know who their hiring but bring in a minority candidate to fulfill the requirements of the Rooney Rule and never get criticized. John Fox to Denver was mentioned earlier, what about Jason Garrett with the Cowboys? These were teams who knew the guy they were hiring but interviewed minorities and no one said a word. It's unfair but it's something us fans are going to have to get used to.

I would like to add that I like the intentions of the Rooney Rule but they need to tweak it. I don't know how exactly, but the rule does need to be modified.
