The NFL is making changes to its head coach and general manager hiring processes by tweaking the Rooney Rule.
CBS Sports' Jonathan Jones tweeted a league memo outlining the adjustments:

Of note, all teams must interview at least two external minority candidates for general manager and executive vice president of football operations jobs. The same goes for offensive, defensive and special teams coordinator positions.
As the NFL noted, that requirement is in line with the league's Rooney Rule on head coaches, which has mandated at least two external minority candidate interviews since its 2020 expansion.
