The purpose of the Rooney Rule was and is not to force anyone to hire anyone. The point is to make sure that minority candidates get interviews for GM and HC positions which was not happening before. It gives those guys a chance to be heard, and a chance to get practice at interviewing. And it doesn't stop them from interviewing whoever else they want or hiring whoever they want. So I don't see any downside other than every time a minority candidate gets an interview, someone will say that it's just a Rooney Rule interview. But what you do see is that since minority candidates have gotten interviews, a lot more teams have chosen to hire minority HCs and minority GMs.
