Report: NFL Owners Table Resolution to Incentivize Teams Hiring Minority Coaches and GMs

NFL owners have tabled the resolution that would incentivize teams to hire more minority candidates as head coaches or general managers, according to NFL.com's Jim Trotter.

Trotter first reported on Friday that the resolution would be presented at Tuesday's owners' meeting. The proposal reportedly suggested teams' hiring of a minority candidate could result in enhanced draft positions. If a team hired a minority head coach, it would move up six spots in the third round of the NFL draft before the hired coach's second season with the team. The club would also jump up 10 spots in the draft for hiring a minority general manager.
