Should NFL set moratorium on hirings until after Super Bowl?

In an effort to increase opportunities for minority candidates for NFL jobs covered by the Rooney Rule, it has been suggested to push back hirings until after the Super Bowl each year. ”The whole point of it was to slow down the process, take your time, get the best candidate and make a decision,” Tony Dungy says of the Rooney Rule that was approved in late 2002. Dungy, one of only two African American coaches in the Pro Football Hall of Fame – Fritz Pollard is the other – was in the midst of his Super Bowl-winning career when the Rooney Rule was adopted.
