NFL Proposing Incentives to Teams for Minority HC hires, etc.

In an attempt to encourage teams to hire minority coaches, the NFL intends to present multiple resolutions to owners during the annual league meetings next week.

Per NFL.com's Jim Trotter, the resolutions that are expected to be voted on include removing an anti-tampering barrier that allows teams to block assistant coaches from interviewing for coordinator positions and an incentive program that will reward clubs for hiring minority candidates as head coaches or executive-level positions in the football operations department.

Under the incentive proposal, teams would receive a boost in their third-round draft pick if they hire a minority as head coach or primary football executive and keep him or her employed for multiple years.

Not even sure what to say about this . . . . . .

Maybe he didn’t get a HC job because....teams didn’t think he would be a good head coach.

There were only 5 HC changes, and 2 of them were happening during the season, and one of them (the Giants with Gettleman) has a completely incompetent person doing the hiring and firing, so...that really left 2 jobs, and EB surely didn't want the Cowboys job with Jerruh, so that really left one job worth grabbing...

It's not like I was getting paid or getting famous out of it, but it made me react like that Jaguars fan GIF to hear that.

You may not be racist, but Ubejaids and the media sure as shit are...

You didn’t fit their narrative.

If you were hispanic and they were looking for a white person you would win a hell of a lawsuit...but ya know, reverse racism doesn't exist
