The NFL plans to propose multiple resolutions to team owners next week that would incentivize teams to hire more minority candidates as head coaches or general managers, according to NFL.com's Jim Trotter.
The league has received hefty criticism in recent years over the lack of opportunities for minorities to reach these positions. The resolutions to change the Rooney Rule will reportedly be presented at Tuesday's virtual owners' meeting.
Under the incentive proposal, the league would remove the anti-tampering rule that keeps assistant coaches from interviewing for coordinator positions with another club, reports Trotter. Having experience as a coordinator is often viewed as necessary for someone to be hired for a head coaching job.
