Did the Redskins and Browns violate the Rooney Rule when they hired Bruce Allen and Mike Holmgren?
It seems like those hires happened very quickly and I never heard any other names mentioned for either job. It was my understanding that all teams are now required to interview minority candidates for front office positions. Scott in Rochester, N.Y. A: Both teams complied. Sure, it sounds fishy, but as long as you interview a minority on staff, you comply with the Rooney Rule. Dan Snyder talked to people in the Redskins’ organization to comply. I’m not sure who Randy Lerner talked to in Cleveland, but I can guarantee that Holmgren is going to have a high-ranking minority in the front office, most likely Will Lewis, who is currently with the Seahawks. No penalties for either team. Q: After reading your comments on Bill Parcells and his draft tendencies, I wonder about trading for Anquan Boldin. He would provide toughness and leadership and the type of receiver who would complement what the Dolphins already have. He’s the type of player who might put them over the top in what is undoubte
