    People have assumed that Josh McDaniels will be offered the next Titans head coaching job. That there is no need for a traditional search because McDaniels is the "Obvious" choice due to his past success and connections to JRob.

    Assuming this is true, how does this jive with the Rooney Rule?

    The Rooney Rule was created for just these types of situations. So NFL execs do not just hire an old buddy and instead open it up to a real competition.

    I am sure they will do a token interview, like they did with Ray Horton, but we all knew that was meaningless.

    Are you comfortable with the Titans circumventing the Rooney Rule again?

    What is the penalty for ignoring the Rooney Rule?

    I dont think Ive ever seen any consequences result over not complying with that silly rule.

    Just give Perry Fewell a free flight to Nashville and take him to a nice restaurant. Problem solved.

    I think the Lions got hit for it when Matt Millen hired Steve Mariucci. Everyone was like "IT was Mooch though, he is a coaching genius and an obvious hire, Rooney Rule should not count"

    Raiders did the same thing.
    Titans should interview Tee Martin. Maybe he could be the "OC."
