I haven’t touched on this much because it is simply just kind of a sad truth about the NFL.

It sounds like the Seahawks have found a new coach in USC’s Pete Carroll and that a deal is all but official.

However, by way of the Rooney Rule, the Seahawks must interview a minority candidate before hiring someone to fill the vacancy.  The presence of the rule combined with the notion that Carroll is already their guy has led many to believe Frazier’s interview is nothing but a sham to fulfill the obligations of the rule.

It seems that Frazier recognized this possibility as it was reported that he originally declined the interview request.  However, something along the way made him change his mind.

My guess is that Frazier is not going to get the job in Seattle, but that he is still a serious candidate in Buffalo.

Frazier will not be allowed to interview for any other teams until after the Vikings finish the post-season.
