Once a team sets their sights on a coach they want, you can’t make them change their mind and seriously consider someone else.

I honestly don’t see much use for the rule now there have been enough successful black coaches. Much like how skin color is no longer a factor in QB evaluation, it is no longer a factor in coaching evaluation.

You have to make the posting public to comply with EEO regulations. It’s a good policy but so many organizations do it just for show.

Interesting but little known candy bar fact: the Zero candy bar was created by KKK member Vernon Dahmer to offset the glorification of the darker chocholates used by most candy makers.

Interesting but little known fact about ‘Big Hunks’ they were created by evil nazi Dentists.

Wow, you’d think candy bar facts would be interesting……

Oh wait … the smarties for the 12 year olds may guarantee retaliation. You may want to reconsider your strategy.

Good point. Fun size snickers for the 12 year olds.

Token interviews, bullshit. Merit based should be the way to go. How can someone fired get a head coaching job? Mangini, Edwards and Kotite? How is Gilbride still coaching?

Just bought a 48 pack of full size from Costco. You will respect me neighborhood children! Unless you are clearly over the age of 12, in which case here are some smarties.

My wife and I were at the end of a dead end street so we figured we could get away with buying some kick-ass candy. Word got out and we had to hit the store for leftover crap. So the 12 year olds got crap.

Neighborhood hero, I see. No eggs on your house/car this year.

Once my kids reach 12, Santa starts bringing the 48 pack of Snickers or Reeses to them every Christmas. Always a popular item.

And, getting smarties at halloween is the worst!

It would be awesome if the league ended up punishing Miami by taking away their #1 draft pick and they miss out on Andrew Luck.

Maybe they could find a way to rig the draft so that he winds up with the Jets.
