NFL To Require Teams To Add More Diversity To Coaching Staff

The NFL is adding a new rule aimed at adding more diversity to coaching staffs leaguewide.

  • Owners voted to expand the league's 'Rooney Rule' to require each team to hire an offensive assistant coach that is either female or a person of color.  
  • That coach will sign a one-year deal and work closely with the head coach and offensive staff. The rule goes into effect this season.
  • The league also established a new NFL Diversity Advisory Committee to review its policies and practices.
  • What changes would you make to the 'Rooney Rule' or other NFL hiring policies? What kind of impact will this rule have?
