I also once choose not to hire a guy because during the 45 minutes interview process, he never once met my eyes. He was always looking somewhere else when talking. Don't know why but that was a complete turnoff.

And finally, I started tracking the number of times a guy said "uh..." in an interview...and stopped doing so when I hit 250. Seriously, he said "uh..." more than 250 times in a 30-40 minute interview. Stop....think....speak. Not a hard sequence to follow.

Lots of reason folks don't get hired for jobs.

I'm confused why the guy has never got a shot. He's been the Offensive Coordinator with one of the most successful offenses in the NFL for years now. Usually that's enough to get you a job somewhere at some point.

Wonder if he's just not a good interview, or has burned bridges in the past that have reverberated around the NFL.

You interviewed Jim Irsay? When and for what position?

My speculation is that he really doesn't have as much responsibility within the Chiefs offense as most OC's due to Andy Reid running the show.

The other evidence of that is the incredible failure of Matt Nagy in Chicago.

Since nobody has mentioned the elephant in the room, it's possible that the Colts interviewed Eric Bieniemy as a way of meeting their quota for the Rooney Rule ...... a rule that I am not exactly sure what it is, and/or who exactly decides whether or not you are guilty of violating it, and/or what exactly the punishment is for not abiding by it ...... in other words, I don't know a fucking thing about what exactly the Rooney Rule is in the first place, other than it has something to do with interviewing people who don't have blonde hair and blue eyes for a coaching position in the NFL.

What Is the NFL's Rooney Rule ???

(By Charlotte Edmonds)

https://www.yahoo.com/now/nfls-roone...154000973.html



(From the Article)


What is the penalty for violating the Rooney Rule ???

When the Rooney Rule was originally implemented, it was said to come with penalties ranging from fines to a loss of draft picks. In the two decades since, the Detroit Lions are the only team to receive any sort of penalty ...... a $200,000 fine, and no loss of draft picks.
