How do we know they haven't requested permission to interview him?  Because on the Pat McAfee show Rappaport reported a rumor he heard?  Seems completely at odds with the guy who works for the Cardinals saying Wilson got the job.  Clearly one of the two is completely wrong but who should we believe more?  Maybe neither is "wrong" per se but one of them is just being used to drive a narrative and create negotiating leverage.  There obviously isn't a right answer as there isn't a way any of us could know.  

While I agree it is odd that we haven't heard about them reaching out to another minority to comply with the rooney rule.  But I also find it odd we haven't heard anything about us moving on from Leftwich whether it be from our camp or his.  Clearly the only thing we know for sure is they have finally done a great job of preventing leaks from escaping.
