Althouth you asked this question to Quick, I'll take a stab at it.

The Rooney rule has its purpose. It is in place to ensure that teams at least consider minority coaches. It is not a mandate to hire or a quota system. Without the rule, we may not have had Lovie (2006 Super Bowl appearance), Lewis (2009 NFL Coach of the Year), and Tomlin (2009 Super Bowl Champion)... all who have proven to be good coaches (Not to mention Dungy who is not a product of the Rooney Rule). Sure, you have your Romeo Crennel's, but he had a terribel team to start with and was fired after 3 short years. However, as those coaches continue to succeed, there will be a day when the rule will not be necessary.

The Rooney rule has already become perfunctory as illustrated by Seattle's hiring of Pete Carrol. Everyone knew that Carrol would be Seattle's next coach, but they had to interview a minority candidate. Vikings defensive coordinator Leslie Frazier declined an opportunity to interview for the job because he knew that the session would merely represent an attempt to satisfy the rule that one minority candidate be interviewed.
