Around the NFL week 14

[Number44]

So, if I'm Denver, and I'm thinking about hiring Bieniemy to be my head coach next year, I would have to see my chief rival receive 2 additional third round picks in order to do it? I can see how this bizarre rule could possibly lead to more minority assistant coaches and assistant gm's being hired, but it seems to me that it could actually stand in the way of a qualified minority head coach or general manager being hired.

This is true. I believe Troy Vincent was the one who came up with this idea, but obviously he didn't think it all the way through as it will actually hurt minority coaches from being hired by a rival team. There's no way the Broncos/etc. would consider hiring Bieniemy if it meant KC gets 2 third rounders.
