4. "You don't think the Steelers hire Tomlin w/o the rule?" In response to In response to 1
I mean maybe not, but I feel like it's named the Rooney rule for a reason and of all teams the Steelers would have been one of the likely ones to still interview and hire the best candidate no matter what.
Basically trying to say I don't consider Tomlin to have been a token interview just to appease the rule who they fell in love with unexpectedly.
