CANTON, Ohio -- Tony Dungy would like to see the NFLs Rooney Rule used in the manner it was intended.The new Pro Football Hall of Fame member said Friday that he doesnt believe teams are following the spirit of the rule now. The rule, designed by and named after Steelers owner Dan Rooney, requires teams to interview minority candidates for coaching and front office positions.What it was designed to do is slow the process down and for teams to investigate candidates, said Dungy, the first black coach to win a Super Bowl. Then you can look at the whole sphere of candidates.Teams still want to get a coach (quickly) and fill a staff. People who do their homework will unearth good coaches if they investigate everything.He pointed to Pittsburghs Mike Tomlin and Arizonas Bruce Arians as examples of coaches who got jobs because teams were thorough in their searches.Dungy, who won the title with the Colts in February 2007, has been a mentor to many NFL head coaches, including Mike Tomlin, Lovie Smith and Jim Caldwell. All of them are African Americans and have coached Super Bowl teams, with Tomlin winniing a championship.ddddddddddddOwners who hired them were willing to look beyond the norms, he said.People cant be afraid to go outside the box, Dungy said. When I came up (through 15 years as an assistant coach), I might not have been a big enough name to sell tickets, or I didnt fit the mold. If someone does not have confidence in themselves, they wont hire those guys. Theyll make the safe hire.Weve got to get past that.Dungy, who turned around perennial loser Tampa Bay before winning the championship with Indianapolis, will be inducted into the hall Saturday night. He went 127-65 as a head coach, and had only one losing record -- in 1996, his first year in Tampa, when the Bucs needed a total rebuild.He has nothing but words of support for anyone seeking coaching opportunities.Dont ever allow anyone to make you think you cant do something, he said. You cant let history stand in your way. Stay encouraged.--AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and www.twitter.com/AP-NFL ' ' '
