When exactly did Nolan interview? And beyond improving his odds of landing the St. Louis position, was Moss retained largely to satisfy the Rooney Rule?

I don't know when/if he did interview. Maybe they had their eye on him for awhile.
I think Moss was kept to not fire him while he's trying to get a different job.

I think the Rooney rule only applies to head coaching candidates.

One could argue that if it weren't for the Rooney Rule Mike Tomlin wouldn't be the HC in Pittsburgh. The team didn't even know who he was until just before the interview. Then he blew them away...

One counterexample does not a good rule make. I'm sure there had been black head coaches prior to the Rooney Rule. I doubt the Rule has increased the hiring of black coaches with statistical significance.

In my opinion, the Rooney Rule simply promotes window dressing and -- let's face it -- hypocrisy. It encourages teams to bring in black candidates for perfunctory interviews, whether or not they have any real intention of hiring them. If I were black, I'd consider it an insult to be brought in for an interview on the basis of my skin color. If I were the token Rooney Rule candidate, I'd probably turn down the position with derision. I'd want to earn the job on the basis of my merits.

Stop patronizing minority coaching candidates (and if we're honest with ourselves, we'll admit this is exactly what the Rule does). Let teams bring in whoever they want for interviews. If they want to be assholes and disqualify candidates based on their skin color alone, that's their own loss.

I've talked to quite a few fellow black students who agree with me.

don't mean to squelch the Rooney rule conversation, because I think it's an impoartant conversation to have. but can we keep this thread focused on the potential DC's?

Yep, I'm about to split off the Rooney Rule discussion into a more germane thread, but the search feature is down at the moment.

I just want some cajones (sp?) in the defensive playcalling. But I hear that he's vanilla...so I don't know.
