This account is legit. Even thought we're not currently compliant with Rooney rules.

#BREAKING
The New York Giants are expected to offer Brian Daboll their head coaching job per league source.

It's nice, but not essential if they had the head coach at the senior bowl. It doesn't matter that much, that coach will likely be their anyway. Outside of that the combine is the next big marker. So if they have the coach hired by the end of this week, then the senior bowl deadline will be hit.
I'd expect a few more second interviews over the next few days.
Every 5 minutes someone who doesn't understand the rule AND didn't read the thread expresses their confusion about what is going on despite it being explained multiple times.

Agreed, this thread is cringe.
This kind of thing was alluded to on one of the GM search threads
Minds are probably made up well in advance behind closed doors and the rest is for show.
Schoen didn't walk into his interview without the name of a coach he wanted to hire. If he's staking his career, he's going to want to go with a guy he has worked with and knows he can work with.
I am reading the thread. I was under the understanding that the GM did the interview with Frazier in person with the owners virtual.. was wondering if the Rooney rule specifically says interview in person must be with owners not just the GM ?
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.
It's insulting but it's entirely bc the Rooney Rule exists. The rule itself doesn't do anything to help make more black head coaches. GMs and owners will hire who they want, anyway. And they do hire black coaches with regularity, and did so before the rule as well.
And I say this while agreeing with you that it is, at minimum, poor form to assume a minority candidate is only getting an interview to satisfy the rule requirement.
It may end up being correct but any of us could say the same thing. Giants ARE likely to hire Dabol. I think most of us see that as the probable outcome. I believe it could change based on the upcoming interviews.
I'd expect a few more second interviews over the next few days.

The GM meet with Frazier in person.. how does not comply with the Rooney rule ?
Yep. They met with Frazier. So, the rule has been met.
Virtual meetings do not count toward the Rooney Rule.

Exactly
To be honest, I would prefer Poles/Flores over Schoen/Daboll if i Had to choose them as a combo.

Kind of curious timing. There are also 8 current vacancies. How about we re-visit in a few weeks?

Premature and would lead to league penalties if it was true. The Giants aren't that stupid.
Are you sure they aren't?
