because he is joining into the Flores lawsuit against the NFL as is Steve Wilkes
Looks like he has them. Mularkey (coach BS) said he was told he'd be the HC before the sham interview was done.

Thank the Lorax for that one
Titans responded:
“Our 2016 head coach search was an open and competitive process during which we conducted in-person interviews with four candidates and followed all NFL rules,” the team said. “The organization was undecided on its next head coach during the process and made its final decision after consideration of all four candidates following the completion of the interviews.”

Probably because he hasn't heard the podcast
There is no way Mularkey can say they "had no chance to get that job", because that's just not true. Even if he's being honest about AAS and JRob saying the job was his, they still interviewed other candidates. Sham or not, they still had a chance to impress and change their minds. There is always a chance. Isn't that the point of the Rooney Rule? To give other prospects the OPPORTUNITY for a HC job? Once you're in the room, it's your job to blow them away. Just because someone's mind may be made up, doesn't mean it can't change.
Deshawn Watson decided not to sign with the Brown.... and then he did.
Josh McDaniels decided to become the HC of Indianapolis... then he didn't.
#life.
How many times has a team/ company said "you're our guy!"... and then they're not.
As a Hispanic who appreciates a focus on equal opportunity and has no issues with the Rooney Rule, I have no issue with this. Horton was in the room, face-to-face with the GM and possibly the owner.
As you say, in the final analysis, they simply decided the continuity was more important than unknown potential of the ther candidates. He may have even been told, “looks like you have have the job” or something along those lines. Nt a violation of the rules. The case will have a hard time actually proving anything substantial. The fact that several candidates of color got HC jobs this off-season also hurts the argument.
remember when they said the NHL lacked diversity... when in reality the NHL features players from every continent, its probably the most diverse sport... what they really mean is white people play hockey and we gotta attack them for being white
this lawsuit is basically the same thing
this lawsuit is basically the same thing
I couldn't have said it better. If you want proof that someone can change minds, just look at Mike Tomlin. He was the"token interview"who blew them away and got hired.
LOL...
cowboys once just ignored stupid rule and hired their guy right away saying no point in doing other intervews cause mccarthy is the guy
they did a minority interview but it was widely reported mccarthy gonna be hired... and he was

What's next teams start hiring more black head coaches, the guy ends up not being a good HC, then it will be racist to fire him?
Pretty sure there’s a requirement for all 32 teams to perform sham interviews.
When the University of Memphis hired Justin Fuente, they had already told a different coach he had the job. Fuente was a throw in, late interview. The other candidate was actually on an airplane flying back to Memphis to sign a contract when the school was interviewing Fuente. Fuente's interview was so impressive they hired him on the spot. They had to call the other candidate on the plane and tell him turn around we hired someone else. Unfortunately I cannot remember the name of the other candidate, but he did go on to have quite a bit of success at the same time Fuente was turning around Memphis.
that is what these interviews do, they give an opportunity.
Jim McElwain was the other guy. He went to Colorado St where he had success then hired by Florida where he did not.
Parallel with Fuente having success at Memphis then going to Virginia Tech where he did not.

So let's get this straight, a Horton hears a Who, and the NFL is saying its all Mularkey.
Seriously tho, he's only one witness, it will need to be corroborated by someone. JRob Cries. He's weak enough to cave, but so much to lose.
Tony Dungy as well.
This one example of why this Rooney rule is a stupid idea. It does put people in a position to just be called in for an interview solely based on their race. Using them like a pawn just to satisfy the stupid rule.
On one hand, we’re always being told that we shouldn’t look at race, we’re all the same on the inside and that it’s the “content of our character” that counts. Which I think these days everyone agrees with.
Then on the other hand, we’re constantly having race thrown in our face. Spotlighting race and saying that we are not all the same, but that some people are different and should be treated differently. The exact opposite the ultimate goal.
If we’re ever going to get past this race thing once and for all, we need to just stop making everything about race. You didn’t get hired, someone was a racist, you got fired, again, racist.
I think in this day and age, if someone is well qualified, and can sell a company, or in this case an NFL team that they are the solution then they will get the job. If they produce the results that they promised, they will keep the job. Mike Tomlin has proven that it’s not about his race or color, it’s about results. If you can’t put up Ws, you will and should get fired. Period.
