Wonder if Brady knew when he returned that Bruce was going to leave? you'd think he knew....

Most likely. Brady definitely preferred him not to be the coach -- and for good reason.

Transition to Bowles was done pretty quick. Why wasn't the Rooney rule in play here ?

Why do they call it the Rooney Rule?


What's the Rooney Rule? Instituted in 2002 and named for former Pittsburgh Steelers owner Dan Rooney, the Rooney Rule requires teams to interview at least two minority candidates for every open head coaching position and other senior roles….

I guess the rule isn’t applied if a minority is hired? There was no talk of anyone else applying??

It occured to me today that maybe Arians quit because Brady came back. Maybe he thinks Brady has more influence with the front office than him.

Todd Bowles is black. The rule could care less about white coaches being passed over.
