I think so. Ran can be in contact with the agents of these coaches regardless. For all we know, Ran already has a deal negotiated with an agent for Callahan or Slowik and the hiring just can’t be announced yet.
But that second one was a double secret interview! lol
I agree with this part. I actually feel the opposite entirely on the sense that they must have been serious. Makes no sense to do a virtual, not serious, interview.
I’m glad to see the titans wide search. Very different from the previous searches I remember.
I also don’t think the NFL takes the “phoning it in” seriously, they just make a half-a$&ed attempt to LOOK like they care by forcing in-person.
Again, the Rooney rule is a joke and more racist than if they eliminated it.
You’re entitled to your opinion.
I’m not saying any have. But the Rooney rule now allows for women to be included to the category that satisfies the requirements.
got to look them in the eye when pandering
So all minorities are counted as 1 group?
I didn’t think the rule worked that way.

Everytime I come here to see any coaching related news I have scroll like 5 pages to find it.
Can we talk about actual coaching news and not stuff like the Rooney rules or casting couches.

Oh I don’t deny that media thinks highly of Vrabel, but I think the NFL is more lukewarm on his coaching skills, especially around the xs and os.
And the same media is reporting that LV interviewed Leslie Frazier and Kris Richard to comply with the Roony rule. But I like your ability to be so sure about something you’re completely wrong about. Unless of course the media is wrong, but then they might also be wrong about Vrabel… oh what a conundrum…
Raiders hire Antonio Pierce as their next head coach
Raiders’ search for head coach enters the interview phase
Yes, my apologies.
Wouldn’t it be interesting if Slowiks offense looks terrible today and Aaron Glenn’s defense is on fire tomorrow?
Both great candidates, I wonder if this weekends performances could affect the decision.

Again…. Spin it however you want and lie about the position I took. It’s not on me. I stated I looked and found no interviews. I’m sorry I missed the short blurb about the 2 guys they interviewed, not one other team interviewed, only to comply with Rooney Rule, even though since they hired a black HC they didn’t have to. But good for you spending half your day looking for a way to try and prove me wrong only to fail.
It’s not just the media that respects Vrabel. It’s also former players. Teams are not going to comment publicly.
But I’m not wrong about the Rooney Rule or whether LV or NE had to interview. If they hire a minority they don’t have to do the other interviews.
We will see what happens with Vrabel. I don’t care. But you obviously do. That’s so sad for you.
I doubt it. Head coaches are hired more on philosophy, strategic planning (not to be confused with game planning and playcalling) and organizational abilities than pure team performance of their previous job.
Wow, you can’t even just admit that you’re wrong about how the Roony rule works.
The Rooney Rule | NFL Football Operations
This is from the NFL Operations own website. Any HC hiring that isn’t a succession plan (like Mayo) has to conduct in-person interviews with 2 external minority candidates.
Interesting way to look at it. It's like the stock market lol.
