NEW YORK -- NFL commissioner Roger Goodell said the league still needs to improve its minority hiring among head coaches.
The latest rule change was aimed at increasing opportunities.
Owners voted Tuesday to push in-person head coaching interviews back one more week until after all divisional playoff games have been completed to slow down the hiring process.
"[Diversity, equity, inclusion] has received more attention in our owners' meetings than probably any subject we have been discussing in the last five years, and I think that focus has been helpful to the clubs as well as to all of us," Goodell said Wednesday after the conclusion of the league's fall meetings.
