In an announcement earlier this week, the NFL introduced new policies that are designed to increase employment opportunities and advancement for minorities and women throughout the league and changes to its Rooney Rule.

The league will require clubs to interview at least two external minority candidates for head coaching openings and at least one minority candidate for any coordinator job.

Teams must interview one external minority candidate for senior football operations and general manager jobs.

Teams and the NFL league office must also include minorities and/or female applicants for senior-level positions, including club president jobs

“We believe these new policies demonstrate the NFL owners’ commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion in the NFL,” said Art Rooney II, Pittsburgh Steelers owner and chairman of the league’s workplace diversity committee.

It was previously reported that there were incentivized proposals that would give teams enhanced draft stock for hiring minority candidates as head coaches or primary football executives.
