| Under the new rules, teams will be required to interview two external minority candidates for a head coaching position and one for a coordinator position. Teams will also be required to interview minority and/or female candidates for senior-level executive positions such as team president. The changes will go in effect after a league meeting on Tuesday. Monday’s news arrives days after a report from NFL Network’s Jim Trotter that the league was considering changes to the Rooney Rule including incentivizing hiring minority coaches by offering improved draft positioning to teams that do. |
Which reminds me - as far as I can tell Richard is still a free agent?
No, they are going to vote on the draft pick proposal at a later meeting
The "2 external candidates" gets rid of the BS token interview they have been doing. It's going to be difficult to get 2 candidates to interview if they don't believe they are getting a fair shot.

If the first interview was a BS token interview, why wouldn’t the second interview be as well?
??
It's not.
This makes a lot more sense than the Rooney Rule, itself. Allows for moving up the ladder that is otherwise blocked. Many position coaches are blocked and this would allow a real jump in responsibility and leadership sooner. Very hard to go from position coach to HC.
I agree. I think this is a big obstacle that needs to be addressed.
Great point
Great point
I just hope teams have a better selection criteria and vetting process than big blue did.

I’m sorry, are you saying women and minorities aren’t as capable as white men in leadership jobs?

Bad optic on that post....

Absolutely not ... I’m just saying the actual hiring criteria needs to be Same across all candidates and not pick someone because of gender just to pick one. 8 years ago, IBM did not hire the best candidate, male or female, and she was a disaster for the company.

When John Akers presided over the great decline of IBM in the 80s and 90s nobody mentioned his race or gender. When a woman or minority fails, their race or gender is the central story. My understanding was Rometty was extremely well thought of when hired. And she inherited a company in a much worse position than the one Akers did.

You make a good point on failures more pointedly spoken of when not "white men."
But after 8 years, if you cannot pull a company out of it's dive, you were the wrong choice and you don't get a pass because your not a white male.
I'd have to say that at IBM you don't get that far unless you are pretty doggone talented.

Unless forced by statute her hiring is IBM's responsibility alone and that is a discussion best left alone.
The insinuation was that Rometty was hired due to her gender even though she was not the most qualified. The Rooney Rule does not speak on who a team hires, simply that minorities be included in the interviewing process. The Rometty hire is simply not pertinent to any discussion regarding the Rooney Rule. It did not need to be included in the discussion. The fact it was included raised some eyebrows.

Ok ... fair and valid point ... I retract my original comment. Peace.

She was a terrible hire, after leading Global Services through years of middling performance. Kelly or Iwata, a outside the box hire, would have been better.
However, Palmiasano did gut out morale and elan with outsourcing and John Welch playbook.
So what’s your solution?

For every woman or minority example you give I can counter with 20X examples of non-minority CEO's

Extra assistant coaching spots on top teams that the NFL pays for (Little Bill, Sean Payton, Reid...)

So, required minority hires paid for by the leauge? OK. What would these “extra assistant” responsibilities be that would make them more attractive HC hires than the coordinators that fill most open HC spots?

Yeah, not to get political, but it's often true. When a white guy fails, he failed. When a white woman or a POC of color fails, their group failed.
