Roger Goodell, NFL commissioner, has reiterated the league's dedication to diversity in coaching, emphasizing the need to develop and provide opportunities for potential coaches from diverse backgrounds. During a recent press conference, he acknowledged the lack of Black offensive coordinators, highlighting ongoing efforts to support inclusion through initiatives like the offensive assistant program. Amid changing political climates, Goodell remains firm in believing that diversity strengthens the league and is committed to following through with policies like the Rooney Rule to ensure minority candidates are considered for coaching positions.
"That's a question we ask and one of the things we work with [in] how do we develop coaches that have the experience and have that kind of potential, which, we know they're out there, and give them that opportunity."
"We have a lot of great offensive minds in the league, Black, white and young women, too, that are coming into this. There are only so many opportunities so that's always a challenge."
