Jen Welter Hired by Cardinals, Believed to Be 1st Female Coach in NFL

NFL history to hire a female coach after adding Jen Welter to their staff Monday as a training camp and preseason coaching intern.

Darren Urban reported the news for the Cardinals' official website, which featured comments from head coach Bruce Arians on the landmark decision to welcome Welter to the fold:

Coaching is nothing more than teaching. One thing I have learned from players is, 'How are you going to make me better? If you can make me better, I don’t care if you're the Green Hornet, man, I'll listen.' I really believe she'll have a great opportunity with this internship through training camp to open some doors for her.
