But to me the Flores lawsuit just showed what a mockery the Rooney rule has been made by franchises. 

There has to be a better path to help identify and move forward qualified minority candidates. But I’ll be darned if I know what it is.

Thing is, the Rooney Rule was created to preempt the threatened litigation by Mehri and Cochran.

By some metrics, it worked...at least initially.  But over time, as teams learned how it would and would not be enforced, the perception grew that it was just a sham until we've reached our current situation.

After what's happened with Wilks, Culley and Flores. I agree. One and done with really no justifiable reasoning and Flores pulled after really, really impressive feats over the last three years.

I also find it sad that Bowles didn't get a lot of attention this year for a job. I think his play calling against the Chiefs in the Superbowl last year was outstanding. Brady's name overshadowed an amazing defensive performance.

It'll be interesting to see what comes out of this. I still think the NFL didn't do it's due diligence completely with the Washington email leaks. Bet there's more Gruden's in that email but they stopped the bleeding after they found his name first.

Par for the course though for the NFL.
