Message: <blockquote data-quote="HardRightEdge" data-source="post: 759518">According to this report, the Rooney rule applies "informally" to "some" coordinator positions."The new provision will apply to coordinator vacancies under existing coaching staffs. It won’t apply when a new coach is assembling a staff."And teams with existing head coaches (like the Packers) are "required (but not officially required)", whatever that means, to interview minority candidates for coordinator jobs.<a href="http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2016/12/22/nfl-partially-informally-expands-rooney-rule-to-coordinator-openings/" target="_blank">http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2016/12/22/nfl-partially-informally-expands-rooney-rule-to-coordinator-openings/</a>I guess the league reckoned it doesn't do much good to require minority interviews for HC jobs if there's a small pool of minority coordinators to draw from.So, the long and short of it is the Packers were "required" to interview minority candidates for the DC job, and reports had Moss, Perry and Whitt as interviewees.  If the Packers were of a mind to get rid of one or the other, they would not have interviewed him for DC and he would not still be under contract.</blockquote>
