NFL owners this week will review incentives to boost racial diversity in front offices including rewarding teams with higher draft slots if they hire a person of color as a head coach or general manager.
If the position was a general manager, the team could potentially move up 10 spots. If both positions were filled with people of color, that club could jump even further at 16 spots.. If passed, assistant coaches will be allowed to interview for coordinator positions with other clubs, which is typically the most significant step to becoming a head coach.
There are currently four nonwhite head coaches and two black general managers in a league composed of about 70 percent African American players.
