With the New England Patriots searching for their next Executive Vice President of Player Personnel, the Rooney Rule is becoming a hot topic once again.
The Patriots are reportedly set to name Eliot Wolf the new EVP of Player Personnel, but issues were raised when the Patriots reportedly hadn’t met the Rooney Rule requirements just yet, leading to some backlash towards the Patriots, while others raised questions on if the rule itself actually works.
Sports Illustrated’s Albert Breer believes the Rooney Rule works. Appearing on 98.5 The Sports Hub in Boston Friday, Breer said that the best example of the Rooney Rule working is, ironically, Mike Tomlin.
