Jets new HC search

Looking forward to the implementation of a program to give compensation to teams that keep white cornerbacks on the roster. RIP Jason Sehorn.

I mean, seriously.

Discrimination is ok as long as it evens things out!

The problem with the current system is that every team interviewing HCs can just interview a black member of their coaching staff to bypass the Rooney Rule. 

Sometimes the best candidates aren't even being interviewed.  Things have to be changed. 

There's no reason the NFL has so few black HCs. 

I'd think it would suck to be a black coach getting on a plane to interview for a job, knowing you're just filling a quota. I mean, I guess you approach it as an opportunity to at least interview, but deep down you have to feel like you're being jerked around.

Heis mentioned this earlier, but I imagine most “Rooney rule” candidates are internal these days. So I don’t expect anyone gets on a plane now a days just because of their skin color. There aren’t a lot of HCs of color, but there are plenty of low level guys who are in just about any organization.

I think it would be better to get interviews rather than never get interviewed.

Here's a name to watch:  Anthony Weaver

Joe Douglas was part of the scouting department that drafted him in Baltimore.  He's seen as an up-and-comer in the coaching ranks. 

[Derek Smalls]

Anthony Weaver is a guy I wanted us to draft in 2002.

Here's a crazy idea: award compensatory picks to teams that hire black coaches.

It addresses all the problems. You're not going to just hire an underqualified candidate just to pick up a couple of 3rd rounders, but you're rewarded if you decide that the best choice of a bunch of candidates happens to be a POC.

Why are there so few black coaches then when most of the players are black?

What has this got to do with anything?

Everything?

Everything?

How?

How are any of the traits that make one a good player the same as a good coach?

Everything?

HEAD COACHES: There are nine head coaches that participated in professional football as a player. Five of the nine were quarterbacks.

I guess you're just focusing on physical traits

Preparation
Knowledge of the game (offensive and defensive)
Leadership
Understanding the NFL locker room and lifestyle

Adam Gase rocking a solid 1/4 at best

[Rosetta Stoned]

No, I'm talking about the fact that being good at doing something and conveying it to others are two totally different things.

Adam Gase rocking a solid 1/4 at best

Which attribute did you so generously tick off for him? I can't really see one where he is adequate.
