Mike Tomlin: NFL's Lack of Minority Hires for 2019 Season Is 'Disappointing'

Pittsburgh Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin commented Monday on the lack of minority head coaching hires in the NFL as of late.

According to Gerry Dulac of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, Tomlin felt the league was light on minority hires this offseason: "I think the numbers speak for themselves in that regard. It was a disappointing hiring cycle for someone who watches it like I do, knowing some of the deserving men I do who I thought should have gotten an opportunity and didn't. But we'll continue to work and fight for equality and opportunity.
