Blank still has to comply with meeting two minorities to be “Rooney Rule” compliant. Blank can’t meet with any coaches in person that are still in the playoffs and under contract. He met with Belichick, Vrabel and Harbaugh as that doesn’t apply to them.

He wants Belichick badly, but hiring him would require getting rid of many Falcons’ staff that have been there for 20 years. Blank isn’t the guy to have demands made of him and Belichick isn’t one to back down from his process. Seems to be a match made in hell. Either way, Joe Brady is an afterthought for the Falcons job. One thing is for sure, Brady sure the hell isn’t coming back to LSU to recruit, which he absolutely hated.

Desperation changes things. And they're both desperate.

Blank to win a SB as he's 81 now. And BB to win a SB, or at least get back to one, w/o Brady.

He is being very thorough w/this search, and I say this as a critic of his.

All this makes sense.

They've interviewed via zoom several minority candidates, but yes I don't think that fills the Rooney Rule requirement. Must be in person. They are high on Mike MacDonald, as are several clubs. I think he qualifies as a minority.
