MIAMI (CBSMiami/CNN) – During the “State of the League” on Wednesday, Commissioner Roger Goodell said the NFL has fallen short “by a long shot” in ensuring head coaching opportunities for Black and minority candidates.
“I don’t think you take anything off the table until you have people look at that, help us independently say, ‘Is there something flawed with our process?’ And if there is, what can we do to resolve that and fix that?” he said.
