Flores Watch

[badgervike]

Thats the issue with the Rooney rule in the first place, which I think should be eliminated to avoid situations like the Flores lawsuit all together. I mean, in today's day and age...does anybody honestly think NFL franchises are not going to hire the absolute best candidates possible to win regardless of race? I don't. The Rooney rule was probably a good idea when it was brought into play, but like most things, it's outlived it's intent and only causes issues now as nobody wants "token" interviews because of their race. I know why, but it's surprising the owners aren't trying to eliminate it altogether.

I agree with you Supa...but the league would be torched for eliminating the Rooney rule...or eliminating the "Black National Anthem" or racial messages  on uniforms, etc.  There is no middle ground, common sense anymore on DEI/Racial issues.  The rule as it stands frankly has now become a burden to Black candidates but the league isn't about to touch it.

For Flores, I like him a lot as a DC but is he really head coach material?  Miami didn't think so obviously.  He's never overwhelming in a press conference to me.  He comes off very Belichek like at times.  I wonder how he is in an interview process.

Why are teams still enamored with Mike McCarthy?

Big Mike becoming the first Steeler coach in 300 years to get canned after 1 or 2 seasons will be something hilarious and magical.

.608 winning % over 18 years and a SB win.  Harbaugh and Tomlin have very similar records and are considered hot commodities.

McCarthy is criminally underrated.....and he's a native Pittsburgh guy, I believe.

Yup.  Fun fact: years ago he worked in a tollbooth on the Pennsylvania turnpike.
