Rooney rule is to get more ethnic/black faces into interviews, doesn't guarantee them a job, but forces owners, directors of football to spread the hiring net further. Rather than giving the job right off the bat to the same old white faces.
Don't know how many ethnic/black coaches whether ex players or not who are actually in a job right now, whether managing a team or coaching first team/youth team, but the Rooney rule is designed to give an opportunity to those flying under the radar, or being regularly overlooked, the chance to impress with their knowledge and passion and commitment, and to tilt the field towards those who have to show more, to even get a foot in the door.Think the career coaching path of Ramsay and Sherwood as an example...

I can only think of three being employed in England right now. The Rooney rule irks me as you should be employed on merit and merit alone.
Zidane and Viera could well be the next two top managers of African origin to make it in Europe.
