Under the proposal, a team that hires a minority head coach would move up six spots in the third round of the following year’s draft. Hiring a minority for the top personnel job would create a 10-spot improvement. Ostensibly a team that hired a minority coach and G.M. would see their third-round pick improve by 16 slots in draft order.
Also, a team’s fourth-round pick would improve by five spots in the coach or G.M.’s third year.
Hiring a minority candidate as a quarterbacks coach would bring a team a compensatory fourth-round pick.
If a minority assistant became a coordinator elsewhere, his old team would get a fifth-round compensatory pick. Losing a minority coach head coach or G.M. would bring the old team a third-round compensatory pick.
Whether a few spots in draft order or an extra mid-round pick would change things fundamentally remains to be seen. It’s also unclear whether owners — who generally make big changes slowly — will go for it.
LOL!!!!!!
No other comment I can make other than laughter. What a disaster. Patronize them more.
