Welcome to My (And Not Sly's) House
Now as a lot of you may have heard, Pete Caroll is more or less guaranteed to be the next Seattle Seahawks head coach. Just about everyone on the planet has said this is in the bag and just a matter of time. That's all well and good as the Seahawks have their man and he's interested. Today though, the Seahawks interviewed the Vikings Defensive Coordinator, Leslie Frazier, a blcak man, for their head coaching job. From what I understand, the sole purpose of this was to have a black man interviewed for the job, thereby satisfying the Rooney Rule.
This rule is pointless in situations like this. The Seaahawks have their man, but first they have to have a completely pointless interview with this guy who isn't going to be hired. It wastes both their time and is just there to fill a quote. I understand the theory and it's fine, but in situations like these it's completely pointless. Should there be instances where this rule simply doesn't need to happen?
