Josh in the City : 1/24/2022 4:17 pm
This account is legit. Even thought we're not currently compliant with Rooney rules.

But it strongly seems to be the preference.

It's a rumor account  
Mike from Ohio : 1/24/2022 4:18 pm : link
and this is not exactly surprising. And as you said, it can't be true yet so it isn't news.
They haven't even finished their interviews

That account is most definitely not legit.

This is a tried and true Twitter practice by these anon accounts. They "break news" by reporting on what's rumored and most of us would guess would be the case. Then they pat themselves on the back for being first. If they miss, they just delete and move on to the next obvious prediction.

They need to interview one external minority candidate in person for the HC job. They have not done that yet.

I'm not going to pretend to know who is behind it but I've been following that account for month. Look at the history of the tweets along with it's followers. It most certainly is legit.

Daboll is the heavy favorite for a reason, but I doubt it’s officially wrapped up.

The same account follows 31k+ people. It's a tactic to pick up high follower numbers. All of these rando accounts always seem to miss the breaking news that comes out of nowhere. It's the incarceratedbob playbook.

"Leaked" would imply this came from the Giants. There is no evidence to suggest that is came from the Giants.

Premature and would lead to league penalties if it was true. The Giants aren't that stupid.

Hence why it's not legit. Why would the Giants risk breaking the Rooney Rule to make an offer a day or two before they've satisfied it?

The rule is fine and necessary in an insular, nepotism-driven community powered almost exclusively by networking connections.

Fans declaring every black interview a "rooney rule" is what's insulting.

I’m sure they will interview Flores in person still. Seems Quinn has other options.

Either Flores or Frazier will need an in person interview. Graham doesn't satisfy the requirement because he is an internal candidate.

And the purpose of the rule is to get minority candidates in front of decision makers and expand their personal networks. In that respect it is not obsolete.
"league source" is very generic term  
UberAlias : 1/24/2022 4:32 pm : link
and "expected" in unspecific and lacks meaningful details. Truth is, this is so lacking in terms of meaningful details that the probability of it actually happening is only marginally more likely to happen if whoever posted this actually did hear something verses if they made it up.
probably bogus

This is the right take. The Twitter account is almost certainly bogus, the "report" is probably bullshit, and yet ultimately it will probably be true.
If they interviewed Graham...

No.

Because he is an internal candidate. Internal candidates do not apply to the RR.

Yep. They met with Frazier. So, the rule has been met.

David B. : 1/24/2022 4:48 pm : link
But at this point ALMOST EVERYONE expects them to offer Daboll the job, so the isn't necessarily anything more than another voice in the choir.

tweet is BS.

The odds are that Daboll will be hired.

But they still haven't even interviewed Flores yet.

True. But there aren't anyother strong candidates, anyways.

Correct, this is what guys like Incarcerated Bob have done for years. They have no sources but claim they do by listing the most likely candidates. Then if he is wrong he will just make a claim that whoever was hired “blew them away and stole the job”. With FA’s they list the most likely teams to sign them. Then they often list a “mystery team” that way if they are wrong they can still claim that they were right by claiming that the team that signed them was the mystery team.

Doesn’t the Frazier interview count? Or does it have to be in person for the Rooney rule?
