It certainly seems fitting that one of the first teams to benefit from the new expansion of the Rooney Rule would be none other than the Baltimore Ravens.
Late last year, the NFL announced that teams who lose a coach or front office executive of minority ethnicity to a head coaching or general managerial (or equivalent) position to another team would be rewarded with draft pick compensation.
The most recent head coaching hiring cycle has included seven job openings. Two were filled with outside minority hires. The first was the New York Jets in their decision to hire Robert Saleh, the defensive coordinator of the San Francisco 49ers.
