Abstract
A professor of sports law at American University in Washington, Duru is a leading expert on the NFL’s hiring practices. He’s also the author of the definitive book on the creation of the Rooney Rule, Advancing The Ball: Race, Reformation, and the Quest for Equal Coaching Opportunity in the NFL.
Duru is more encouraged than ever about the NFL’s state of play.
“The NFL over the last several years has really been intentional about driving home to the clubs the importance of considering diverse candidates for … leadership positions. And the fruits of this intentionality are emerging,” he wrote to Andscape in a text message. “There is plenty of work left to be done, but we are definitely seeing progress toward leveling the playing field for candidates of color.”
