Your Head Coach choices for 2025

Sounded like Rodgers was campaigning for big Mike the other day on mcaffee.

 

They also got 2 thirds for….. Mike McDaniel because he’s also considered a minority lol.

 

If the US would invade the country of origin for its natural resources, they count as a minority.

 

The first coach from Greenland

 

Anyway it’s a Friday so there’s probably another 5-6 interviews today.

if you’ve worked in the game of football in any capacity, and your name is not Ben Johnson, come on down, the Jets are having open interviews

 

Jersey color checks out at least....

 

Josh McCown gets an interview today. I'm not totally opposed if he has a strong DC. Not sure if he'd call plays though. Probably would prefer an OC to do this with him being the "CEO" head coach. Seems like a guy who will be a HC sooner or later. Not overly enthused, but would prefer him over, say, Arthur Smith

 

That sounds like an awful rule. Teams get incentive to get rid of minority coaches? That's going to make teams get rid of them on purpose, right?

 

Arabs are minorities, yes. He's of Lebanese descent.

 

hmm that doesn't make any sense. There's no "getting rid" of them, they are losing a staffer for a promotion. They dont get anything if they fire a coordinator for example, only if another team steals him.

I do think there are circumstances though where a team may not want to hire a minority candidate if they know that other team will get multiple draft picks from the league.

the Jets probably dont care if the Detroit Lions get extra picks for Aaron Glenn. But they might if it was the Patriots

 

It just seems like teams are incentivized to not promote minorities from within, since they get multiple draft picks not to. You're right, it's not "getting rid" of them, but they are required to give permission for other teams to interview.

 

If it's Arthur Smith, I may take 3 years off.

 

I just was something that Flores/mccown could be package deal. I don’t hate that

 

No minority head coach hired in the past 16 years that has been hired has won a Super Bowl.

Instead of pushing diversity, just push for the best candidates. Rooney Rule needs to go 100% since it's goal is flat out to push an agenda which hasn't helped teams. Hire the best, the end.

The rule as currently constructed needs to go. If anything it reduces minorities to a checked box 90% of the time. The concept itself however is very valid.

 

I might permanently take off

 

Agreed a valid concept but poorly structured and ends up being a waste of time. Always hire the best candidate. It's become a joke when the league forces teams to interview at least 1 black coach or minority.
