um, you're forgetting one thing about McDaniel.
his *interview* satisfied the rule.
So you're saying you just can't promote white guys in the nfl without interviewing a minority candidate? But you can promote a minority candidate without interviewing a white guy?
Sucks that you need a rule like that but this behavior by Kyle shows exactly why this rule needs to be in place. I'm just wondering who will now come in to complete the "token" interview so that Kyle can hire his buddy?
The difference is Kyle wanted *that* minority. So I'm sure they told the NFL they conducted their interview and decided on him. So yes that is on Kyle for not interviewing a white guy, after interviewing a minority, before making his decision.
The idea behind the rule can be beneficial to both those minority coaches and teams. Even if it is a sham interview, that minority coach (
which white women fall under as well, I believe) gets experience being part of real NFL interviews....which can be beneficial for future interviews (or other open positions with that team). There is also chance one might stand out to an owner, who initially had someone else in mind for that position.
So the whole idea is to just get more minority coaches opportunities and experience... which is better than few and far between opportunities. 🤷🏾♂
