Seahawks coach Pete Carroll reportedly called out NFL owners during last week’s league’s meetings, saying that the hiring of minority coaching candidates won’t improve until owners accept that there are capable candidates different than themselves, according to ESPN’s Adam Schefter.
Carroll reportedly spoke for about 10 minutes during a meeting between the league’s coaches and general managers last Tuesday. In an impassioned speech, the Seattle coach said that policies geared at increasing the number of minority coaching candidates will not be enough until the owners fundamentally change their approach and mindset to the hiring process.
“He just went off,” an anonymous source told Schefter of Carroll’s comments.
