Maybe I'll pose a question: Do you believe the number of black HCs in the NFL would be more than, less then or equal to the number there are today without the Rooney rule in place?
i think it would be the exact same, +/- 1
Do others agree with bode?...

I should just go look up the data, but I'm too busy to bother with it right now.
