Why don’t the Colts just say they interviewed Caldwell (just after Fisher) while he was still employed?

He’s probably more than qualified, but, chances are, the Colts know who they want and Gray is just another humiliating victim of the Rooney Rule.

Gray deserves a chance before Mularkey got his second.

LOL – the author forgot the 5 miserable years he coached the Buffalo defense?

Not to mention the previous stint as an Oilers/Titans assistant. Left with Gregg Williams for Buffalo when Fisher promoted Jim Schwartz over Gray for Williams’ old DC job.

Although I wouldn’t call all of those Buffalo defenses miserable. Last year with Williams and first year with Mularkey it was a top 10 D in almost every category, including points allowed.

I’m not sold on the Titans D yet under Gray after one season, but he’s a well-spoken, engaging guy with a good enough resume to think he should get some legitimate looks as a HC candidate.

Might not want to accept that interview invitation. Irsay is off his rocker again and the job is hard enough already.

I like the way he handled himself during the Jim Zorn dueling Shermans/Bingo Caller debacle. When D/C, Greg Blache refused to speak to the media, he stepped in and comported himself well. He seems like a class act.

The Colts have probably interviewed him multiple times when Caldwell was still emoloyed.

You need to take a deep breath and relax wegonnababy. The poster was trying to use sarcasm ( not racism ) to point out how pointless the Rooney Rule is. The are numerous black coaches (congrats RAC) in the NFL and owners would promote someone with stripes as long as they could win . The Rooney rule has outlived its usefulness. If we are really worried about minorities getting head coaching jobs how come we don’t include women or Chinese guys (neither of which currently are NFL head coaches).

One of my favorite Rams players of all time and I like the aggressive way in which he calls defense.

Dont knock the Bucs for satisfying the rule…. Knock the rule itself
