Earlier this week, the NFL tabled a proposal that would see teams rewarded with slight improvements for their draft slots in the third round if they were to hire a minority (or female) to the roles of head coach or general manager. Roger Goodell has also vowed that this proposal will be revisited and that there is a lot of support for it.
It’s very likely that, at some point this season, a proposal will be past that, in some form or fashion, tangibly incentivizes the hiring of minority or female candidates to power positions, though it remains to be seen what exactly it will look like.
