>>
The rule does not apply if an assistant coach has language in his contract guaranteeing him the head coaching job in case of an opening.[20] For example, this was the case when Mike Martz took over as head coach of the St. Louis Rams before the 2000 season. Also, the requirement does not apply if the assistant coach taking over the head position is a minority, as was the case with Mike Singletary and the San Francisco 49ers in late 2008.[21]

As of June 15, 2009, Rooney Rule requirements apply to all searches for senior football operations positions within the NFL, regardless of a team's title for that position. It now also includes all ethnic minorities, not just African Americans.[citation needed]<<

Also heard that past a certain calander date each year the team can just hire without the Rooney rule.

Am I the only one that thinks TB12 wanted Ariens out and Bowles in... and basically his 'retiring" was a way to force this?

winner!!! March 1, Jerry could fire MM, and hire Dan Quinn tomorrow if he wanted

In 2022, a different Rooney Rule applies. Now, the rule requires two interviews of external minority candidates. Thus, even though the Buccaneers have elevated a Black assistant coach to the position of head coach, the process technically violates the terms of the Rooney Rule, since the Buccaneers should have connected a search that included at least two external minority interviews.

The hiring of Todd Bowles exposes a previously unknown Rooney Rule loophole

In 2009, the Buccaneers fired Jon Gruden and promptly installed Raheem Morris without conducting a full search.

The linked article states that this requirement for an extended search doesn’t apply after March 1.

According to the NFL, the Rooney Rule doesn’t apply after March 1, because coaching staffs essentially become locked on March 1. The Buccaneers couldn’t conduct a search consisting of assistant coaches from other teams, because after March 1 teams are no longer required to allow assistant coaches to interview for head-coaching jobs. Thus, the Buccaneers were able to make a hire without interviewing at least two external minority candidates.


Perhaps it should be closed anyway. What if Cowboys owner Jerry Jones now decides to court Sean Payton? Jones could fire Mike McCarthy and replace him with Payton without conducting a single interview. Alternatively, Jones could do it after March 1, 2023.

Or Jones could fire McCarthy today and elevate defensive coordinator Dan Quinn.

Whatever, close it, don’t close it, there was no violation of the Rooney Rule in this case. Interesting.

I wasnt saying there was, it just seemed fast. I'd love Jere to do something like that, he needs a little drama in Dallas.
