Roger Goodell: Tabled Rooney Rule Change Has ‘A Great Deal Of Support’ And Will Be Strengthened

It was largely met with muted relief when the league announced that it had tabled one resolution for the expansion of the Rooney Rule that would provide draft compensation to teams for hiring minority candidates to head coach and general manager jobs, among other ideas for compensation.

For those who oppose this type of procedure, however, I wouldn’t get my hopes up, because the league made it quite clear that, not only is there support for the idea, but that tit will definitely be revisited. Most likely, they will vote on a revised and possibly expanded version of the resolution later this year that would go into effect next year.
