My point that clear cut minorities other than Blacks were not considered including Asian, Latino Americans who look Latino, American Indians, Arab Americans, Jewish Americans and women have never been hired under the Rooney rule for head coach.
    Where do you see that Saleh is part white? All of his bio says hes Lebanese, he even speaks Arabic.

        It helps if:
        1. You have some background in football.
        2. Apply to actually pursue a coaching career.

        Joel if you want to go this ridiculous route....
        Name the Asian and Arab Americans being denied coaching opportunities.

        Name names.
        Don't just throw out ridiculous hypotheticals.

        In view of the fact that Mike Tomlin has matched Cowhers record I give him the designation:

        TCFCLTC-
        The Coach Formerly Considered Less Than Cowher

            I have a nephew who is White, Black, Filipino.

            Looks like none of the above.

            You would bet money his ancestry was 100 percent from India.

              If we dont have a Transgendered Biracial Jewish Asian head coach by now then obviously the rule is a failure and should be eliminated.

                I think there could well come a big push to expand the rule
