Do you know what the Rooney Rule is? No, Dane (see Dane's Dump. You're welcome for the advertisement, Dane.) it's not a rule made by Andy Rooney on 60 minutes! And I know you know what it is Mr. Baatz (see TBaatz), but I'm going to tell you anyway. The Rooney Rule was established in 2003 and is named after Dan Rooney, the Pittsburgh Steelers owner. The Rooney Rule requires NFL team owners to interview one minority candidate for the coaching job. For example, if I 
was an NFL team manager, and I wanted to hire Joe Schmo for the head coaching job (which I wouldn't partly because he doesn't even exist, or at least not that I know of), I would have to interview at least one other candidate for the coaching job. One instance where the Rooney Rule has come into play is before the 2007 season, when the Steelers hired Mike Tomlin, who was a minority. The percentage of African American coaches in the NFL has jumped from 6% to 22% since the Rooney Rule was established. Overall, most experts agree that the Rooney Rule has helped turn around the terrible record of hiring minority coaches.
