Are you guys aware of the fact that if Jerod Mayo becomes a HC somewhere, the Patriots get 2 third round picks?

49ers already get 2 additional draft picks awarded by the NFL for losing Saleh to the Jets. 

 

Similarly, if Todd Bowles becomes HC somewhere, the Bucs would gain compensatory picks. 

 

No one loses picks, the team losing the minority coach gains the picks. Thoughts???

That's interesting.

 

I wonder if that leads to strategic non-hires... like nobody in the NFC East would want to hire a minority coach from another NFC East team because it would be giving them two extra picks, and you don't want your division rivals to get those extra picks...  I bet nobody in the AFC East would want to give the Pats those two extra picks.

 

Doesn't it kinda decrease the chance a minority coach gets a HC job, since there's a competitive advantage for certain teams to NOT hire a certain candidate because it would give a certain team extra draft picks?  And if the candidate is good in the first place, they're probably coming from a winning team that's had recent success, and nobody wants those teams to get extra draft picks.

 

I wonder if it will be like how some players are traded from an AFC team to an NFC team or vice versa.  Or teams only hire minority coaches from bottom-feeder teams like the Jets because them getting two extra picks isn't as impactful as say the Chiefs getting two extra picks.

 

But most likely it will be bottom-feeder teams like the Lions giving extra picks to an already good team like the Rams, making the rich richer.  What a weird rule...  :scratch:

I do think it would matter more for intra-division hires like you inferred. Infra conference, not that much, unless you are the #2 or #3 seed chasing a coach from the #1 seed, which is unlikely because you get to where you are because of your coaching and players typically.

 

Eric Bienemy, do we want the Chiefs to get 2 more third rounders across 2 draft years? Valid question if you’re an AFC playoff team.

Like I said, the Lions won’t be giving up picks. The Rams would be awarded by the league 2 compensatory 3rd round picks across 2 years. That’s how it works.

Right I understand that.  Maybe I shouldn't have used the word "giving" those picks to another team.  haha

 

And like you said, what if this rule is actually hurting the chances Bienemy gets hired as a HC?  Even if you're a bottom feeder in the NFC cleaning house and looking for a new HC, if you narrow it down to Bienemy and some white guy, or even another minority candidate, the fact that the best team in the league right now would be awarded two extra picks might tip the scale in favor of the other candidate instead of Bienemy...

 

I get the sentiment of the rule, but it seems flawed...  :dunno:

The upside of hiring someone as prominent as a head coach trumps the league giving a 3rd round pick to a contender when drafting is an inexact science with most GMs hitting below .500, IMO. Most hires are being done by teams with terrible records anyways. They aren’t worried about a team that’s a contender, they just are worried about getting back to the playoffs. :) 

 

I do agree giving 2 third rounders increases the odds of hitting, this might just be a kickstarting move that might get reduced to 1 third rounder eventually. Worrying about the Chiefs will only happen for an NFC team when they get to the SB. There’s that too.

Sounds like a rule that could be abused, and what a surprise, New England's name is on this, because of course it is.

 

Also, how does the NFL determine who falls under this compensation rule? What if you're mixed Hispanic mixed African American? Do they use DNA kits, or what?

Like the Rooney rule. But to compensate a team for losing a minority coach is flawed. No team should be gaining or losing pick overs their staffs race unless the are proven to have made statements or actions showing racism.

It is about encouraging teams to give minority coaches the chance to develop and advance within their organization, which gives them a chance to get an HC/Front office opportunity later on.

 

The Rooney rule is just exploited usually(Interview where it's to fulfill obligation). This is a fundamental way to build up more qualified candidates.

I dont disagree, I guess it just bothers me theg have to go to that extent to insure fairness. We do t have rules for players, we get the best players out there. I dont see why owners wouldnt be getting the best staff out there.

i think its crap. It promotes an atmosphere of elevating the promotion of someone based entirely on the color of their skin.  As a black man, I feel this is a step BACKWARDS from what we ultimately want.  We can't preach and in some cases beg for equality and NOT to be pre-judged based on the color of our skin and then do something like this where a team is rewarded if a man(or woman) of color gets promoted.   This is why I've been against the Rooney rule forever and against those pre-employment questions where they ask you for your race/color/gender etc during the hiring process. People should be judge solely on their merits and not in any way, by the color of their skin. Nor should any team be rewarded for a person of color getting promoted or otherwise preferable treatment.

this exactly, its as if the NFL is trying to be like "hey look at us and how much we care we have all these rules in place". Its called grandstanding. In reality its quite the opposite of equality

That last part is exactly true. And stinks heavily of the old “equal but separated” days.

    • Of course.   I don’t think I disagree.   But I think Ballard knows his players and if/when to gamble on bringing them back.     Not sure I follow your comment about the draft behind him with Pierce be the same as pass rusher?   Can you elaborate?  
    • Last year was brutal for you?   Seriously?   Last year was one of the most enjoyable seasons of my 12+ years of Colts fandom!   A season where the Colts exceeded expectations while playing their backup quarterback.  Watching Steichen coach the heck out of this team!   A real pleasure.  Honestly.    And given the nature of how negative things are around here I’ll share a thought that I fully expect to get laughed at over… Ballard didn’t take the job over Luck.  Ballard took the job over Irsay.   I don’t think it’s a coincidence that Irsay, who had been a GM, then hired Bill Polian,  then Ryan Grigson who got exec of the year one year, then Ballard who also got executive of the year one year.   I don’t believe in coincidences like that.   Irsay knows the complexities of the job.   When Ballard took the job it wasn’t clear what was happening with Luck?   The one constant was Irsay.    Plenty of decisions were made with the trio…. Irsay, Ballard and Reich.     After the Luck retirement the Colts were in win-now mode.  They had a young team built to win and weren’t going to tell them the team was going to be in re-build mode for 2-4 years while a young quarterback learned on the job.     Things look obvious in hind sight.  The Colts plans were known in real time and they made what they felt were the only decisions that they could.   Try to win every year.  And part of the reason Ballard hasn’t been fired is that Irsay approved of those plans, he signed off on them.     Im sorry you may not watch this year.  Steichen is a really sharp guy.  Fun to watch.   I hope you’ll reconsider.   
    • Anyone interested in the #3 position, the Patriots are considering trading down.  Send me a message if you’re interested.
    • not without risking him leaving. Of course. The argument could be made that the draft behind him in Pierce could be the same situation with a pass rusher. 
    • That's cool!   I was fortunate enough to catch him on his last tour just before he passed. Great concert.
