A reported proposal to award teams that hire minorities on the sidelines and in front offices got tabled at NFL meetings last week.
Mike Tomlin thinks it was a good idea.
The Pittsburgh Steelers head coach spoke with Kentucky basketball head coach John Calipari on his “Coffee with Cal” Facebook show Monday and spoke about the state of minority hiring in the NFL.
He likes the strategy of using positive reinforcement to spur more minority hiring in management.
“We've always taken it from the approach of, punitive if you don't interview minority candidates or things of that nature," Tomlin said, per an ESPN transcript.
