Where Is the Rooney Rule Needed Most Today?

What a small world it is.

In 1979, I was offered my first full-time teaching and coaching job at Trinity-Pawling School, a private boarding school 60 miles north of New York City.

One of my fondest memories of being an assistant Varsity football coach occurred during a crisp autumn day practice when a giant Mayflower moving van pulled up to the side of the field and minutes later the drivers were pulling out brand new 5 and 3 man blocking sleds with the Pittsburgh Steelers’ logo on them.

They were a gift from Art Rooney, the legendary owner of the Steelers.
