As is customary, Roger Goodell's annual state-of-the-league news conference on Wednesday featured questions about diversity among NFL coaches and front offices.
"We have to do a better job," Goodell said last February when asked about the league's history hiring people of color."I think we have made a tremendous amount of progress in a lot of areas, but not at head coach."
Goodell's comments indicate he believes the league's diversity efforts need to be better, but his actions have left him open to criticism. His ruling the Las Vegas Raiders did not violate the Rooney Rule in 2018 is, which requires NFL teams to interview minority candidates for all head-coach openings.
