Abstract
The rule — which required teams to interview minority candidates for open head coaching positions — was copied by other sports and modified for the corporate world. But for all its promise, progress in the NFL remains slow. While the majority of the players are Black, the majority of coaches are white. White coaches are more likely to be hired a second time, and the sons and brothers white coaches continue to be hot names when jobs come open.
