Edit: Then again if we do that, there's a good chance that we're going to undercount the true significance of the rule. One thing is the number of hirings that the rule indirectly leads to, along the lines of what I stated above.

Another thing is the number of hiring that it helps to make possible in an even more indirect way. Say that the rule lead to three direct hirings. Those three teams with black head coaches could affect the willingness of other teams to hire black coaches by normalizing the idea of a black head coach. So even if these other teams hire black coaches without really using the rule, they would still have been indirectly affected by it.

All that's based on hires due to the rule. So let's start at step 1. Who got hired because of the Rooney rule? Seems like we're just reaching to give it credit for things, without any proof it deserves it.

It's been over 20 years, and we're still talking hypothetical hires, and hypothetical impact to say it's getting more black head coaches.
 
The crazy part is 5 years ago everybody said damn Mccarthy feels like a "safe" hire. No one said it was good, no one said it was bad, everyone said it was safe... 5 years later... mediocrity.

Why you think McCarthy lasted so long? Jerry's ego will not allow another coach get credit for any success the team has. This the same man who fired Jimmy Johnson after winning the SB. All b/c Jerry felt he wasn't gettin the credit.

JERRY is the problem. Always have been. Always will be.

And I think McCarthy got tired of Jerry's bullshit too and that's probably why he didn't resign back with dallas
