re: Does anyone else believe the Rooney rule is outdated?

It's a tough thing because you would hope NFL owners would be open-minded enough by now to interview/hire minority coaches on their own without the rule. And I'm sure for SOME coaches it can be embarrassing to be the "token" interview and knowing you're the token interview. I think the rule has good intentions, but I'm not sure it's necessary anymore, though I could certainly be wrong.

I'm not so sure Raheem Morris and Mike Tomlin become coaches if it wasn't for the Rooney Rule.
This is true....actually the Steelers had planned on giving the job to the current Cardinals coach...they interviewed Tomlin and were blown away...going into it, they didn't plan on hiring him. Actually, Tomlin wanted Wisenhunt to stay as OC but he went all Hillary Clinton(crying "it was supposed to be my turn...)and took his talents to the Cardinals where they played each other in the Super Bowl and the rest is history.....
