Cory's Corner: Incentivizing Minority Hires Is A Bad Idea

I am completely on board with making sure there is a level playing field in regards to race.

However, I am not sold on incentivizing hiring minorities as coaches or to hold jobs in the front office.

The Rooney Rule is a great idea. Back in 2002, Tony Dungy and Dennis Green were both fired. Dungy just led Tampa Bay to a 9-7 record and advanced to the playoffs for the third straight season. Green led Minnesota to a 5-10 record that season, but that was the first losing season the Vikings suffered in the last 11 years.
