The NFL's Rooney Rule demands that minorities are interviewed, I believe even an external minority as well. When I looked up their coaching history, I thought there was zero percent chance they'd be hired for offensive coordinator as they just recently got their first NFL position coaching role.

So yes, they interviewed some minorities to follow NFL rules. I don't think those guys would of been interviewed for offensive coordinator without the Rooney Rule. Though I believe they only had to do one minority for coordinator position and they did two, and they did one other white guy as well. So they did more than they had too.

But like I said, guys that just got their first NFL position coaching role aren't automatic going become coordinator. Unless they know a guy (like Clint Kubiak when Gary Kubiak stepped down)

Any time you try to FORCE a business to interview people for political correctness, I bet that hurts more then helps.
If I was looking for help, I would hire the best person for the job. I wouldn’t care what color skin they had, or if it was a man or a woman.
But that’s just me I guess.
Anyone that owns a pro sports team would be an idiot to pass up a minority if they were the best person for the job.

MLF is not a good coach and seems like a yes man. Our offense was a joke this year yet they dont seem to wanna fix it

Offense
9th Scoring
10th Total Yards
5th Yards Per Play
7th First Downs Per Game
9th Third Down Conversion
1st Time of Possession
1st Give-Aways


Granted, those are season stats, not year stats, so I guess you are right when you say the Packers offense was a joke this year. They lost to Lions and 49ers this year with the only win coming against the Vikings.

I read a study that basically said when people hire, they tend to hire people they can relate better to, and most people just happen to relate to their own race more often, and subconscious prefer/pick their own race if they can tell the races. It's just a subconscious thing, based on experience. And a very large majority of the owners happen to be white.

I think the only thing the Rooney Rule does is get minorities a lot more interviews... which I assume might be helpful in terms of improving their interview skills... but if they already got a guy in mind, then they're simply fake interviews.

Now back to the Texans... they seemed to fire a staffer that everyone seems to absolutely love... and seems to have fired her for publicly celebrating a Democratic political win on her own time, as her only publicly known negative thing she did, and it was right after that.

But, I am trying to square the following facts....How can we have had:
- a potential MVP quarterback
- coach of the year candidate who calls the plays
- an OC who was good enough to have been named a head coach
- a QB coach who is good enough to have been named OC
- an OL coach who was just named OC

yet

after the first drive, could not figure out a way to do virtually anything against the 49ers?

With all that geniusness and talent, it seems they should have done better.

Seasonal stats dont mean anything when u cant translate it to the post season where actual good teams are playing.

Granted, we did go 5-1 vs playoff teams this season which really impressed me and gave me false hope for a nice playoff run.

Hes a yes man as in he will do what all the prior coaches did by promoting from within instead of brining in actual talented coaches saving $ for the higher ups.

U guys should really look into the 5 families that run the Packers. U will see why Mike McCarthy became our coac to begin with and why tbis organization will never win another SB due to keeping thier circle close to family and not brining in new and talented folks
