There is a lot of confusion out there when it comes to the hiring process. For example, there is no NCAA rule concerning interviewing a monority candidate.

"Does the NCAA have anything like the NFL’s “Rooney Rule?” The “Rooney Rule” is a National Football League policy requiring teams to interview minority candidates for head coaching positions. Legally, the NCAA can’t adopt such a rule. The NFL is a for-profit business that is legally able to draft and enforce such policies. In contrast, the NCAA is a non-profit and voluntary member association which can’t influence individual campus hiring practices. However, in early 2008, Division I athletics directors recognized the problem and adopted hiring guidelines similar to the “Rooney Rule.” While voluntary, peer pressure plays a major role in ensuring schools comply with these guidelines. The main focus, however, should be getting minority coaches hired, not just interviewed."

From where does the 3 candidtate policy originate?

Here's a phrase all Vol fans should be aware of by now: The Complexities of Football.

I don't believe the rule of having the job open for a set number of days but I do believe at least one Afircan American candidate has to be interviewed for the position

I know this isn't the thread for discussion, but there is no NCAA rule requiring this. It is an NFL rule only. The "Rooney Rule."

I'll never forget that game we I was 14 and with my dad was in section x5 row 35 me and my dad made the drive and watched every home game that year and they happened to win the NC. Unfortunately dad is no longer here and he has been rolling in his grave at the state of UT football under Dooley. Would have loved to see the look on his face when we land Gruden.

Car ride, everyone says car ride. didn't work for me. However, I put my son in a bassinette, on top of the dryer, turned the dryer on and could get some peace for a while. God Bless, and it gets better.

Car ride works but stripping him down to his diaper works everytime...

All true, however it is pretty normal for all of this to happen after an offer has been made and accepted for said position.

That may not be the case here, but Gruden can accept and work under an MOU while all the legalese is worked out.

Also, the interviews can be phone interviews. They do not have to be in person.

You are obviously one of the most knowledgable people around here so I don't want to seem like I am disagreeing, rather, I don't want people to get freaked out over nothing.

Soooonnnnnn. Just skim thru any of these Gruden threads, day by day. Getting freaked out over nothing is the norm. Yesterday one of the OGs said he was sick, and somehow this became secret code for "the deal is off".
