Smith brought the “Rooney Rule” into question. Stephen A. Smith has been very vocal about the things he dislikes in the world of sports. Today on First Take, Smith voiced his displeasure with what’s been going on in terms of the NFL head coaching searches.

Don’t get discouraged though. According to the man himself, his plan remains the same, affirming...
