I personally see no point in implementing a Rooney Rule in college football or any sport for that matter. In theory it sounds nice. Make sure at least one minority coach is interviewed for every job. However, I am of the opinion that no one should be forced to hire or even interview anyone for a job solely based on their skin color.
Now there are plenty of great coaches out there. Some of them happen to be white, some black, and some Hispanic. So why not let the schools decide who they think would be a good fit for their program and if it happens to be a minority then so be it.
I know allot of this has been brought on recently by Texas A&M only interviewing one man and then giving him the job. That man happened to be white. Well maybe it's just me but so what. They had already decided that Mike Sherman was there guy and they hired him. They have recruiting to think about and if they have already decided on someone I say why make them waste time on a candidate that they do not plan on hiring anyway. Not to mention wasting the minority candidates time on a job interview for a position that has pretty much already been filled. I just think that if a minority is the best man for the job then he will be hired bc after all every school's #1 goal is to win.
