Do not try to move the goal posts, you made a specific comment about the Giants, that is what this about. It is very simple.
Ronnie Barnes too, he’s been with the Giants since 1976. Ronnie Barnes (American football) - Wikipedia
Lifted from an article on the Rooney rule. ‘Would Tomlin have been a serious candidate for the Steelers’ head coaching position without the Rooney Rule? It’s impossible to say, but the rule certainly put Tomlin on the Rooneys’ radar, and in that regard, it worked perfectly. ‘
Spare the poster review panel. I copped to it. My error doesn't mean that the Giants aren't a joke that's gotten even worse.
I think it's funny that the the only team that takes the Rooney Rule seriously is the Rooney team. The rule itself is just bad eye wash.
Considering the Giants won a SB with a black DC and you believed the Giants never had a single black coach I hold your football opinion and knowledge in as high as regard as I hold your posts.
Why? The goal was to get minority candidates in front of the people that do the hiring so even if they don’t get this job they get exposure and maybe another job. The Giants had a minority GM that they promoted, should they be exempted?
So, since it was established in 2003, the Rooney Rule maybe helped get Mike Tomlin his job.
Sounds like more than maybe but You’re right it’s a terrible rule. It had zero impact on any of the other minority coaches hired since 2003. Maybe They should just mandate that every future coaching hire be a minority? Maybe every future owner too? Problem solved.
Under recent enhancements made to the Rooney Rule, first instituted in 2003 to promote diversity by requiring teams to interview minority candidates for head coaching jobs, NFL teams must interview two external minority candidates. One of those interviews must be in person.

I am a Giants fan also and I blame the lack of success in the last few years on John Mara and Steve Tisch. The kids don't know what they are doing and have made terrible hiring decisions in leadership positions in the organization. To run a successful team you need to hire highly qualified people to make decisions. Their fathers would not be proud of what they've done with the franchise.
Wellington let the Giants franchise rot for 30 years eventually lucked into getting George Young and Parcells.
They did interview Leslie Frazier in person after they interviewed Flores in person. Not a peep from Frazier.Under recent enhancements made to the Rooney Rule, first instituted in 2003 to promote diversity by requiring teams to interview minority candidates for head coaching jobs, NFL teams must interview two external minority candidates. One of those interviews must be in person.
The Giants had already virtually interviewed Buffalo Bills defensive coordinator Leslie Frazier. It was interviewing Flores that satisfied the Rooney Rule.
Brian Flores revealed what Black coaches have known all along: The odds are always stacked against them - The Boston Globe
Flores took what was an open industry secret and brought it into the legal light of day.
Frazier hasn't been a serious HC candidate since going down in flames with the Vikings. He only got the interview because one of his Buffalo contacts got the GM job. He was supposed to come in, have his interview to meet league requirements and leave quietly so they could hire who they really wanted.

Agreed. I felt like his initial stance was pretty solid and I assumed he had plenty of supporting material to back his position.
