I guess my point is, Id rather see the redskins take a serious look at the guy from the Colts if they think that is the best minority coach option then dick around with someone they have no intention of really even considering.

Not that that is what you were saying just ranting...
Personally I think it's a bit unfair to say Tomlin got the job because of the Rooney Rule. He may have gotten the interview, but he earned the job through his previous work, and his interview. IMO.
