Race, the Rooney Rule and the Saints coaching search

Rugby Saint II · 04-03-2012, 12:07 PM

Herm Edwards never accomplished squat. Al he's known for is one saying "you play the game to win". Such insight.

He's a crappy analyst or announcer or coaching adviser or what ever he's supposed to be. He needs to just go away.

We need to make a "sum cum from sum yung guy" rule and get an asian head coach in the NFL.

No **** Sherlock. But I'm sure no one is up in arms over whether a Hispanic or Asian or Indian coach being interviewed...

He actually does a lot for youth football players and rookies coming into the league. Kinda nice that he shares such blunt, insightful stories to help the kids understand.

its a stupid rule thats purely about liability.

play the game, tell em what they want to hear,
and hire Parcells.

Hell, hook up Parcells with Michael Jackson's plastic surgeon, and ask
the NFL what color they want the next coach to be.

If he can lose weight, he can change races.

The Saints should hire Parcells to dry the footballs with a towel during OTAs, or as water boy, then "promote him from within." That way it's not a Rooney Rule violation and no need for a minority interview. Then watch the steam emerge from Goodell's ears.
