NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell and a few team owners and executives met Thursday with civil rights leaders, who urged the league to make drastic changes to its hiring practices to improve diversity in leadership positions.
National Urban League president and CEO Marc H. Morial told the group the NFL’s focus on racial equity and social justice recently hasn’t yet resulted in improved hiring procedures for the league’s head coaches.There were nine head coach openings this offseason and two went to minorities: Mike McDaniel, who is biracial, and Lovie Smith, who is African American and replaced David Culley, who also is Black. That brought the total of minority head coaches to five, three Black.
“The NFL has produced an astonishing pool of Black coaching talent that owners routinely have ignored when filling the top job,” Morial said. “We are committed to working with the owners and the league to bring the spirit of ‘Inspire Change’ to the head coaching rosters.”
