Jason Garrett (who is white) became the interim head coach after 8 games with the Cowboys, and Leslie frazier (who is black) took over for the Vikings after 10 games. Both have done excellent jobs in relief, and lets say for argument's sake that ownership of both teams feels the same way and they each team wants to bring their coaches back.

The Vikings can simply choose to re-sign Frazier with no strings attached.

The Cowboys must interview a minority candidate, and frankly, Garrett has done such a great job that re-hiring him is a no brainer decision. So the Cowboys have to somehow line up an interview or face severe discipline/fines/etc.

How is this fair or even ethical? Since when did 'equal opportunity' translate into 'preferential treatment'? There are many examples of hypocritical double standards in the NFL but this has to be one of the worst ones.
Interview first non-white homeless crackhead you find. Rooney Rule Satisfied.
