Perry Fewell went 0-for-3 in head-coaching interviews this month, but he still likes the NFL's "Rooney Rule." Fewell, an African American, doesn't believe he was used by teams to fulfill the rule, which requires teams to interview at least one minority candidate. "Did I feel like I was being used in any way? No, I didn't," Fewell said. "I thought the interviews were very legit. I thought there was a genuine interest. And I think I met people and developed a relationship with people that if they didn't help me now, they could possibly help me down the road." Fewell is currently the Giants' defensive coordinator. He lost out on jobs with the Panthers (who hired Ron Rivera), Browns (who hired Pat Shurmur) and Broncos (who hired John Fox). "There's only 32 of these things," Fewell said. "So I'm more determined now. I'm not really discouraged. I learned a lot in the process. It's an education you get when you have an opportunity to go to the other organizations and interview with them. But I found out that I am prepared in many ways. I think I'm qualified. I think I'm ready."
