The NFL is continuing its efforts to improve diversity among coaching staffs and front offices. The league plans to hold a two-day networking event for “diverse, prospective Club-nominated Head Coaching and General Manager prospects” on May 23 and May 24, according to a memo obtained by ESPN’s Dan Graziano.
The memo explains that each team will send one coaching and one front office prospect that are “senior women and minority high-potential coach or player personnel” candidates to meet with senior officials in decision-making roles.
One hope of this seminar is for owners and team presidents to become familiar with coaches and executives of other teams who may be up for future leadership positions without tampering.
