Could an NFL team land a big coaching prize in Sean Payton, yet still find itself accused of conducting sham Rooney Rule interviews? JarrettBell gives an opinion on the topic.
This historical context is relevant because it’s supposed to be different now. That doesn’t mean that Payton is any less attractive of a candidate. But with the NFL incorporating even more layers to the Rooney Rule against the backdrop of the Flores suit and the dismal results over recent years when it comes to hiring minority coaches, it will be interesting to get a sense of how robust the commitment will be from teams when it comes to the spirit of complying with the Rooney Rule.
But still: Could a team land a big prize in Payton, yet still find itself accused of conducting sham interviews? Owners and other key decision-makers are now required to participate in inclusive hiring training before starting a search process. The revisions are promising enough. On top of the requirements, it is also recommended that clubs enlist the help of an “inclusive hiring process coach” to ensure that the search is fair and equitable.
