Maybe if Belichick and Vrabel remain unemployed, they can do a podcast.

I understand it's only an interview, but with how bad the Panther offense was this is really a head scratcher.

It wasn't Brown's fault. The personnel was so bad, Bill Walsh would've struggled to generate offense

That and, well, the Rooney Rule.

Yeah. I think the Rooney Rule is mostly done with good intentions. But other times, it's done to check a box or gain information. Like with the Eagles hiring Fangio. If I'm correct, they didn't really interview many candidates for DC. I know the only minority was Ron Rivera. Hell, I think he was the only defensive candidate they interviewed publicly. I want to say it was done with true intentions. But with how known Eagles interest was with Fangio for the past couple years, it feels like Rivera was just a checkmark to satisfy the Rooney Rule. It wasn't just that Fangio was a consultant to help assist the Eagles Offense(not defense) for the Superbowl. He was there in the training camp before that season. Since Gannon was hired, he was on a fast track to become a HC. It was almost a lock that he would be a HC before the SB season, so I think the natural move was to transition to Fangio, but Gannon tampering with Arizona messed up the plans lol. I get the desire for someone like Fangio. At this point in his career, he's not getting a HC(unless it's an interim job). So with him being closer to home, he'd likely coach until he's ready to retire. For some HCs, that's what you want in a coordinator. You want someone who is going to be the HC of that side of the ball, stability and consistency, and content with staying there

The Rooney rule only applies to head coaches and front office positions. It does not apply to a potential OC job.

That Belichick coaching tree looking like it burned up fast.

This used to be true, but not anymore.

"In 2021, the NFL approved changes requiring every team to interview at least two external minority candidates for open head coaching positions and at least one external minority candidate for a coordinator job."
