Daniel Posted March 28, 2022 Share Posted March 28, 2022 1 hour ago, TheKillerNacho said: Are there any NFL teams that don't have at least one minority offensive assistant? I'm not sure how this affects anything... It would tell us an awful lot about the one team it turns out is affected. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kiltman Posted March 28, 2022 Share Posted March 28, 2022 1 hour ago, ronjon1990 said: I'd be shocked if any team wasn't already in compliance. This feels like the NFL just putting more stuff in writing to cover bases. That said, why specifically offense? Why not STs, where there is a lack of representation in both coaches and ST specialists? Seems like a very token move to me, where someone can say "Hey, we have this rule!" that will ultimately just become a deflector from criticism going forward. Traditionally more HCs get hired from offense. Think it makes sense if you're trying to get more diversity in head coaches, even if it is a transparent bare minimum thing.

SweetFancyMoses Posted March 28, 2022 Share Posted March 28, 2022 Are we allowed to discuss this? Doesn't really apply to the product in the field. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soko Posted March 28, 2022 Share Posted March 28, 2022 The NFL still wants you to think it cares, how sweet. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BullsandBroncos Posted March 28, 2022 Share Posted March 28, 2022 Like many have said, how many teams already are in compliance with this? Kind of stupid. besides all the geriatric coaches, most of the other coaches are former players that the majority of are minority. This is a rule to get the NFL some good press. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Force out certain ownership who refuse to hire diverse candidates. Are owners doing this? I haven't seen anything confirming it, but wouldn't be too surprised. I guess it makes the NFL look good, but doesn't actually fix anything. Personally, I'd rather have someone outright tell me they aren't hiring me for some stupid reason than virtue signal about wanting to hire me and not actually fix anything.

My comments are nothing more than speculation tbh. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Webmaster Posted March 28, 2022 Share Posted March 28, 2022 There’s not really anything football related to discuss with this news and we’re not going to discuss race and politics on the forum. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
