Increasing Minority Coaches in NFL

 Leadership

The National Football League (NFL) has faced accusations of racial prejudice, resulting in a lower percentage of minority coaches and administration. To address this issue, lawyers Johnnie Cochran and Cyrus Mehri proposed a plan to increase the number of minority coaches in NFL. The proposal includes rewarding teams that hire minority coaches and penalizing those that don't. However, critics argue that this plan may not work due to structural barriers and career mobility patterns that reduce participation of minority coaches. Studies have shown that minority coaches face unfair dismissal and retention practices, leading to a lack of minority head coaches in the NFL. To overcome these challenges, recommendations include obliging owners to adopt the given recommendation, conducting interviews for minority coaches, and implementing penalties for non-compliance.
