Re: Football Coaches: The Hiring Process
There will never, ever be an end to racism. Won't happen. It will always be there to some degree.
[ QUOTE ] IMO When you force people to do things in favor of minorities it only helps breed racism. [/ QUOTE ] It's a double edged sword. [ QUOTE ] If I was the person in charge of hiring a coach(college or NFL) I should have the right to interview whoever I wanted. I shouldn't be forced to interview someone b/c of the color of their skin but b/c of their ability to do the job. [/ QUOTE ] I agree. Which goes for any job. However, there are still people who have power to give jobs that race is still an issue. Sports is no exception. b |

To my knowledge there is no limit to the number of interview candidates they can talk to. [/ QUOTE ] The point I was trying to make is if I had a specific person or 2 in mind for the job I should be able to interview them and only them. I shouldn't be forced into interviewing someone b/c of the color of their skin. |

the Rooney rule does seem to be having a positive impact. [/ QUOTE ] Let's not conflate causation with correlation. I'd love to see some evidence for the latter, but I don't think it's there. |

[/ QUOTE ] it's sad (and a sign of the times) that you have to preface debates/issues with an "I am not racist" statement...If i didn't say that this thread would be full of flaming w/ comments about The_B being racist and hating black people |

Maybe it's that a lot of assistants are lifers and that until 10-15 years ago there really was a color barrier. It takes time to even things out statistically. [/ QUOTE ] This is EXACTLY what they were saying 15-20 years ago. |

Re: Football Coaches: The Hiring Process
What kind of questions do they ask in these interviews? Is there stupid [censored] like "what is your favorite color"?
