The NFL said it hopes its new rule will make it easier for minority and female coaches to rise through the ranks.
During the 2022 season, the NFL will mandate that each of the 32 teams employee a “female or a member of an ethnic or racial minority” on their coaching staff.
“In recent years, head coaches have predominantly had offensive backgrounds. We believe this resolution will assist greatly in continuing to source and identify diverse candidates earlier in their career, providing pipeline depth and further developing the diverse offensive pipeline,” the new resolution from the NFL says, according to screenshots from United Press International sports reporter Al Butler.
In 2003, the NFL introduced the “Rooney Rule,” which requires NFL teams to conduct at least one in-person interview with a minority candidate for all head-coaching vacancies. Now the NFL appears to be taking a more serious step in mandating more diverse hiring practices.
