On Sunday morning, an unexpected name surfaced as a potential candidate for the Browns’ open head-coaching position: Condoleezza Rice, the former Secretary of State under President George W. Bush. Both Browns GM John Dorsey and Rice herself quickly dismissed the ESPN report, with Rice noting that while she is not ready to coach, “it is time to develop a pool of experienced women coaches.”
Those efforts are underway, to open the door for qualified women who have experience playing or coaching football, to also have an opportunity to work their way up the ranks.
