If you’re going to go diversity, you may as well go all in.
The National Football League is proposing a new rule that would reward teams that hire minority head coaches and general managers with improved positions in the college draft.
Under the proposal, a team could improve its third-round draft position by up to 16 places. Teams will receive an improvement of ten spots if they hire a minority general manager or equivalent front-office position, and six spots for hiring a minority head coach.
Of the last 20 NFL head coaches hired, just 2 were minorities.
The league is concerned that the racial makeup of its hierarchy does not reflect the racial character of its fan base. The new rule still needs approval by 24 of the 32 owners to go into effect.
ESPN:
Choosing a minority head coach based on color for any reason is stupid. But so is the process of choosing an NFL head coach. How is it that so many failed head coaches, fired from previous jobs — presumably for inferior performance — end up latching on to another team? White, black — it doesn’t matter. The system is rigged in favor of an NFL coaching “fraternity” from which teams are supposed to choose a candidate.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.
Rarely does a team gamble on taking an “unproven” head coach, either from the college ranks or the corps of assistant coaches eagerly waiting for their chance.
General managers also play musical chairs with teams, but most franchises like to promote from within when it comes to many front office personnel.
There are other “diversity” changes being considered by the owners:

Why, isn't this just wonderfully racist? I guess merit means nothing unless your a person of preferred pigmentation. By all means let's turn America into the same type of shit hole half the world is by giving unqualified clowns jobs because they're black. These joggers really need to straighten up.
ReplyDeleteThe NFL is dying anyway. Our multicultural overlords want us watching soccer. This will just speed up the process.
ReplyDeleteWhat with 'affirmative action' going on for the past fifty years or more you'd think 'minorities' would be busting out all over. But they're not. So they keep coming up with ever more BS like this new NFL rule. Whites should be minorities by now. But they're not. What's going on? It can't be that 'other than whites' don't have the knowledge or skills for the job, right? You mean that most players are black but somehow have not capitalized on that skill to transition into management?
ReplyDeleteI do not give a rip about NFL or MLB or NBA. But these kind of things only serve to weaken our society. It's gotta be a money making scheme, why else would they keep trying this crap?

What kind of minority? Could it be a political minority? The NFL is pervasively anti-2nd Amendment for the People. So would a pro-RKBA coach or GM qualify for that improved draft? Or would the NFL despise minority diversity? Whatz up wi'dat? --Ron W
ReplyDeleteso it's ok to discriminate so long as your discriminating against whites. I think I'll start watching hockey.
