Buffalo as a home dog…..to a LOWER SEEDED team.

Filthy.

This still is shaky to me.

1. Dude just said he thought Coughlin would be a good fit. That doesn't mean the Bengals were only interested in Coughlin, or that he was even their favorite going in.

2. Bengals had a black assistant coach on staff they also interviewed. Since they had that planned, the Rooney Rule was met. So the Lewis interview was something they chose to do - not had to do.

Seems like they could have just had a legit interest in Lewis.

You're just talking shit man, grasping for anything to not concede that it has helped black coaches get hired.

I read somewhere that Lewis was the DC for a historic defense (Ravens), but still had a hard time getting interviews in the years before the rule. But then when there was all this discussion about the underrepresentation of black coaches in the league when he was hired, and so he was hired. He was actually hired before the rule was formally adopted. No matter. The atmosphere at the time was changed because of all the discussion going on at the time.

And Coughlin was the favorite. But think whatever you want.
