MLB and NFL Rules require that minority candidates be interviewed in all executive search processes.
The Rooney Rule, implemented in 2003, was named for Pittsburgh Steelers chairman Dan Rooney, who steadfastly pushed the league to require every team to interview at least one minority candidate every time there is a coaching or general manager opening.

positions -- were all filled by white candidates since the regular season ended a month ago.
"I know the concept is good and something we need to do," said Tony Dungy, who was with the Indianapolis Colts during the 2006 season
when he became the first black coach to win a Super Bowl. "Obviously, it's not working the way it should."
