    Handle Your Business: Why won’t the NFL hire minority head coaches?

    Why are minority coaches being passed up for NFL jobs? George Templeton covers it in this week's Handle Your Business podcast.

    In this week’s episode of Handle Your Business, we will look at the case of Eric Bieniemy and why the NFL won’t hire black head coaches. Bieniemy, a highly-regarded assistant with the Kansas City Chiefs, looks set to miss out on all five openings if reports from ProFootballNetwork.com’s Tony Pauline and Benjamin Allbright about the Cleveland Browns job are correct. So why is that the case?

    We will also look at significant staff changes with the Los Angeles Rams. What does the Matt Rhule contract say about David Tepper and the direction of the Carolina Panthers? And the XFL released its rules this week, and I take a look at which rules the NFL should adopt.

    Does the Rooney rule still work for minority coaches in the NFL? How can it be improved? And are black coaches getting a fair chance in these interviews?
