It sounds like all active NFL coaches interviewing are virtual till Jan 22nd. Saw it in a SI article. Shaw can be in person now since he's not currently employed by the NFL.

That’s what I’m saying. Since we’ve only conducted virtual interviews, do those count towards the Rooney rule? I’m not sure

Maybe? The NFL website says interviewing at least one minority candidate in person was suggested, but it doesn't specifically say it was approved. But the next paragraph below makes it sound like Goodell thinks the updates are part of the requirement.

The only reason I say it like that is because earlier on the page where they talk about the creation of the rule and additions everything says it was NFL or owners approved.

In recent years, the Workplace Diversity Committee has proposed additional changes to strengthen the Rooney Rule, including:

  1. Clubs must interview at least two diverse candidates from the Career Development Advisory Panel list, or a diverse candidate not currently employed by the club.
  2. Clubs must conduct an in-person interview with at least one external minority candidate for any GM or head coaching interview.
  3. Clubs must continue to consider multiple diverse candidates.
  4. Clubs must maintain complete records and provide them to the league upon the Commissioner’s request.
  5. If the final decision maker is involved from the beginning of the hiring process, they must be involved through the conclusion of the process.
NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell stated that the updates “bolster the current Rooney Rule requirements and are intended to create additional opportunities for diverse candidates to be identified, interviewed, and ultimately hired when a vacancy becomes available.”

Both I'm sure. But if an owner is impressed with a candidate and already knows they will hire them, any forced interview after that is just checking boxes.

So owners should just schedule the minority interviews first to give themselves cover to avoid another Brian Flores situation.

Jim: Appreciate you chiming in, David. No doubt the team needs to figure out the injury issues. As you said, it's been a problem for years, and Vrabel never had an answer for it. As for Ran, I'd give him a break … and also remind you Vrabel had say in some of the personnel decisions last year, including signing – and playing – Andre Dillard. … The new head coach will have a big say on what happens to the training staff moving forward, but first the issue has to be identified. Is the training staff really responsible for guys getting hurt? Or, is it something else, from style of play to strength and conditioning to offseason workout regiment? A lot of questions out there as it relates to injuries, and I don't think it can all be chalked up to bad luck.

Can we put this issue to rest? This is not the first time the org has confirmed this through the years. In fact, the HC has direct, considered input into personnel in virtually every org. That is how you hold them accountable for the results. The org needs the buy-in before drafting and signing FAs.

In the answers to questions he states they expect to have a decision on the HC this next week and to remember that a coach interviewing does not mean they are actually interested in being the HC of the Titans - that other orgs are also interviewing those same coaches.

Pierce is out as expected. Raiders announced.

11 interviews I believe............The only box not checked is a Middle-Eastern Trans candidate.........That is supposed to be on Monday at 4:00...That individual is a special teams coach

Here's some perspective.

The Titans with Vrabel from 2018 through the 7-3 start in the 2022 season had the 5th most wins in the NFL.

From 2016 to that 7-3 start we were still 5th in the NFL.

11th in the NFL from 1999 through that 7-3 start.

So really through that 7-3 start we were very much above average.

Now we are 13th in wins since 1999, dropped all the way to 12th since 2018 and 13th from 2016 til now. Crazy how much that bad season and a half brought us down.

The narrative surrounding this franchise right now isn't great. I don't have as problem with a franchise that believes in it's vision and moving to get rid of people who aren't riding in the same direction......I do have a problem with a franchise who either cannot, or will not communicate that vision to it's fans or prospective coaches.

It looks like we aren't going to be serious players and likely end up with a coach who was pissed over by others. Maybe we get lucky, maybe we don't. But the odds aren't really in our favor.

The titans job is one rung above the panthers job. The more I read on what went down, I don't know what to make out of it other than the typical disfunction has surrounded this franchise. Now reports are coming out that Vrabel was the one that wanted to trade Henry, Tannenhill and etc, but the compensation (draft picks) was going to be little.
