Rooney Rule question
If you interview an African American internal candidate, have you followed the Rooney Rule?

No. One external candidate must have an in-person interview.

RE: Rooney Rule question
So why were the Pats allowed to hire Mayo w/o an external candidate?

What’s the source they didn’t interview an external candidate? How does the Rooney Rule define “interview?”

They interviewed him prior, and added the language that he would be the next HC of the Patriots, with prior notification sent to the league. That is allowed by the NFL

Thanks! I hadn’t known about the contract language before.
