    I just read that the Pats may get 2 3rd round pics if the Eagles hire Mayo?

    I dont understand how a team is compensated.

    Did the Steelers get a comp for Munch?

    The only interest in Butler I believe was the Seahawks and thats when Coach Dick retired.

    Thoughts?

    This is part of the new expanded Rooney rule. It only applies to minority coaches who leave one position and are hired for an enhanced position on another team.

    Teryl Austin was interviewed for the Titans DC, if hired I believe the Steelers could get a comp pick (if I read the rule correctly).

    The rule change is supposed to increase interview and hiring opportunities for minority candidates (including women for front office positions).

    We just have to wait and see what happens with Teryl Austin. If he ever leaves for a DC position then we would get those 2 3rd round picks.

    IDK if that is the case, I did glance at an article this week about a team perhaps getting 2 comps for this, but they actually lost 2 coach's. This is the first I heard about 2 picks for one coach.

    Oh wow. I honestly didnt think that still existed because many teams were just basically interviewing for the candidate for him to practice but is sounded like a waste of each others time.

    Yeah that makes more sense. Although I do remember hearing the same thing with the Rams but I could be mistaken.

    They've added so many new rules this cycle.

    Someone posted the new rule here within the last few days, legalese confuses me, lol. The gist of it is the expanded the Rooney rule to include OC, DC and coach positions, and gave incentives.

    I think it was the Rams, two of their coach's were hired away to enhanced positions. Does this mean if MT was hired away as a GM we could snag a comp in the 1st? (note sarcasm)

    I guess Im wishy washy on this. I mean..I can not believe that Adam Gase was the most qualified fit for the Jets vs minorities.

    At the same time I remember in college a classmate who was a black women got a promotion to Engineering Manager for UTC ( She was an Electrical Engineer). I was like 22 and wanted to high five her and she was pissed because she says that she will always have to live with an asterisk by her career accomplishments instead of earning her promotion.

    I dont have an easy answer for this but I guess at least they will be getting experience in the HC position?

    Better than some scrub coach like Adam Gase getting 2 HC jobs.

    Munchak. Munchak should have taken over as HC after 2017 season.

    So what. Tomlin should have been fired after JAX playoff loss. Munchak would have been an upgrade. Hell... Marvin Lewis would have been an upgrade at this point. Lewis would actually win a playoff game with Steelers.
