Considering the outcome of the game, and the season the Steelers have had I’m sure you can conclude that Mike Tomlin was the man for the job. You don’t put a big business franchise in the hands of some sort of affirmative action pick. Mike actually knows what he’s doing. Don’t degrade his skill.
Yes, I think you are right, he is actually a great pick.
My only point is that were it not for the stupid rule, we would have been able to say from the beginning that they must picked him for his skills. The existance of the rule caused there to be a question.
He has, of course, vindicated himself now, but I guess what I am getting at is that if you think that a coach is the best guy for the job, regardless of race, hire him. But dont require an interview process based on race, because it raises doubt as to why you hired him.
