I dislike quotas and this is similar. In the past couple of months I was wondering why there have not been more minority hirings. With so many players being non white these days it's only a matter of time before more of the coaches are Black.

I don't know. There has to be a better way.

The NFL is considering improving draft picks for teams that hire minority candidates as head coaches or general managers, sources confirmed to ESPN.

Under the proposal, aimed at fixing diversity problems leaguewide, a team could improve its third-round draft selection by up to 16 picks -- going up 10 spots for hiring a minority candidate as general manager or an equivalent-level position and six spots for hiring a minority head coach.

NFL.com first reported on the proposal, which was submitted by the league's diversity committee and is expected to be addressed during Tuesday's virtual meeting with team owners, a league source confirmed. The proposal would need 24 of 32 votes in favor to pass.

Under this plan, a team could move up five spots in the fourth round if a minority head coach or general manager successfully entered the third year on the job, according to the report. Retaining a minority quarterbacks coach after one year would net a fourth-round compensatory pick, a nod to the importance of quarterback expertise to the head-coaching pipeline, according to the report.

Conversely, losing minority candidates to other teams would earn draft capital -- a third-round compensatory pick for a minority candidate leaving to become a head coach or general manager and a fifth-round compensatory pick to the former team for a coordinator hire.

what an absolute bullshit thought....questions which would be asked should such a moronic proposal be implemented:[list][*]Did the minority dude get the job because they like the draft board the subsequent year...or was he good at his job?[*]How will players respect (or disrespect) minority hires in the future as such hires would be viewed as teams gaming the system?[*]If you hire a Eskimo transsexual, would you move up 32 picks into the second round?[/list]

And they wonder why there still is racism. This kind of crap keeps it alive .
Anyone that would hire someone because of the color of their skin is a racist. Whether they pick a black or white.
Any job should be filled by the best candidate, regardless of their skin color.
And to give special privileges to a team under these circumstances is stupid.
