So at best he comes in is good for one year and ends up d coordinator. This dude can take a hike
would Titans get draft picks if that happens...
(i) The employer-club of a minority employee who has been hired by another club as its Head Coach or Primary Football Executive (General Manager) shall receive Draft choice compensation in the form of a compensatory Draft pick in the third round in each of the next two Drafts for an employee hired as either a Head Coach or Primary Football Executive, or for the next three Drafts if it has two employees hired for both positions. The reference to the hiring of employees into “both positions” could be by the same club or different clubs.
49ers running it on these comp picks. Extra picks this year alone:
- Round 3 (Robert Saleh/Martin Mayhew HC/GM hires)
- Round 3 (Mike McDaniel HC hire)
- Round 3 (Ran Carthon GM hire)
Mike McDaniel. What a joke lol
I think the rule itself is a joke. Don’t understand why race is brought into the hiring process. Defeats the purpose. Teams are basically penalized for hiring people that are white. If that’s not racism, I don’t know what is. Hire the best people for the job, regardless of what they look like.
it's actually insane.
The Rooney rule too.
Does that exist for college? I’d think not since Rooney was a NFL guy.
that said, seems like you can generate some excitement from fans as a coach without regarding race, that Deion Sanders guys seems to be doing very well.
dont know who Byard is, but yeah he is otherwise seemingly doing well
They should only get half a draft pick lol
Well, you can put him being hired as the Texans DC to rest.

Race was brought in because until 15-20 years ago coaching staffs and upper management were essentially a white mens club. Since these types of rules were put in place, dozens of qualified black coaches and executives have gotten looks they may not have gotten before. Remember, they don’t reward the team that HIRES them, they reward the team that developed them. Big difference. They’re not “penalizing for hiring white”.
There also weren’t a lot of young coaches 15-20 years ago. There was not rule for a youth movement.
While I understand there may have been some racist ownership/management just that short amount of time ago, I don’t recall any lawsuits for racially selecting anyone which has been illegal far longer than 15-20 years ago.
Even so, isn’t rewarding a team for choosing someone by race, by definition racist?
Not arguing for or against the rule. Just curious... You don't think there are any racist owners/mangers?
I’d say statistically there probably are some and I believe there are different levels of racist despite the definition, but there are legalities that were written decades ago regarding discrimination. I can’t recall any cases against a professional sports team that was suggested to have hired one person over another until after this rule was implemented.
now I’m not oblivious to how money, media, and time have affected this possibility, but I would say the likelihood of this happening and staying quiet, whether a legal case was presented or not, within the last 40 years or so is pretty unbelievable and getting more so every day with the technology advances and ease in which to advertise this and how many media outlets would take even a mild suggestion and run wild with it.
Edit: should probably clarify. I just don’t think the Rooney rule does what it was actually designed to do and I’m not sure it helped more than it has hurt.
Like I said, they don’t reward the team that hired them. The Titans are getting nothing for hiring Ran. They’re rewarding teams that spend years developing coaches and executives. This will get things a little more balanced. It’s already having an effect in my opinion and hopefully in a few years the league will be at a place where they can eliminate the rule.
You can’t reward them for developing minority people without penalizing them for developing white people. That’s the truth no matter how you spin it. Minority candidate getting hired equals a reward in draft capital, white candidate equals no reward in draft capital. That makes developing white candidates less appealing and that’s racist, but discrimination against whites is perfectly acceptable for some reason in today’s society. If you truly want to rid the system of racism, don’t make rules pertaining to race. Treat everyone as candidates instead of white candidates and black candidates. We’ve moved past that as Americans and rules like these just keep the racism flame burning brighter.
