It's better than simply NOT getting an interview because you're Black.

Thats not a problem with Affirmative action, your just an angry white dude who hates the fact black ppl get any assistance due to your own racial biases
While the Rooney Rule isn't perfect, its fact that plenty more Black Coaches at least get a shot compared to just a decade ago
And since black people are more than just... thugs, some have impressed enough to get that coaching gig.
The reason the system isn't perfect is because at the end of the day, you still gonna have racial preferences at times.
People often feel more comfortable around there own races for the most part.
So when a new regime comes thru like say... In Oakland, they was quick to get rid of Hue which made no sense. I don't think the new owner felt comfortable with Hue's rumored affiliation with The Lox

Nah fukk that. You gotta go in there and shine regardless. With the nfl you never how long a coach gonna be there, or a GM for that matter. If they move/leave/ get fired that interview can leave an impression.
Also they talk to other teams and that can help you. I think one coach got hired like that. Can't remember who tho.

while it sucks, both for the interviewee and the team if they already have a direction they want to go, there is always that diamond in the rough story like tomlin, where you may be bypassed that year, but if you have a good interview, it could set you up for more serious contention down the line.
Its still a good thing to have that interview.
I interviewed for a job and the manager later called and told me i had no chance in hell to get it. He said he interviewed me because he wanted me to have that experience so that when the next job opens up i will be better prepared (he was a fellow brother from GT). When I was interviewed for a later opening i knocked that shyt out the park and got the job.

Alarming fact:Out of 25 head coaching jobs filled there are 4 minority coaches (3 black head coach +Ron Rivera) 0 black offensive coordinators and the rest of us are either defensive coordinators, d line coaches, o line coaches etc.

happens at everysingle job, in fact people will interview people of both genders to meet quota even when that job is realistically taken up by an internal promotion. rules allow for people to keep tabs
