I mean, it has to be.. people much smarter than me came up with it, and ESPN talking heads keep drilling it..
I'm talking about the rules that say a NFL franchise has to interview minority coaching candidates before they fill a vacancy. Now they are trying to force the rule into the college ranks.
Is it fair that of the 119 Division I-A football programs in the country, only a small handful is a minority. I think the number is less than 1 in 10 programs.
This comes up every year when the coaching carousel starts spinning.. It becomes big news when black assistants remain assistants.
Is the 'good old boys' club as strong as they would have us believe? Should organizations be forced to parade token candidates to comply with the rules? The theory is that it gets the name out there.. but If I am a hiring manager and I pass on a candidate, what does it say about the candidate? Are you more or less likely to hire someone who I passed on?
Do we have a ways to go? Yes. Is mandating affirmative action the right thing to do? I don't think so.
