Goodell: NFL to extend Rooney Rule to women for executive positions Posted by Josh Alter WESTWOOD, CA - NOVEMBER 18: NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell and US Olympic Committee Scott Blackmun speak on stage during the National Football Foundation Leadership Hall Of Fame Luncheon honoring Casey Wasserman at UCLA's Pauley Pavilion on November 18, 2015 in Westwood, California. (Photo by Tommaso Boddi/Getty Images for National Football Foundation) Getty Images The NFL will have its first full-time female assistant coach in 2016 and the league is expected to have more female officials on the field in the near future as well. On Thursday, NFL commissioner Roger Goodell said that the league is going to expand efforts to get more women into executive positions around the league as well. Speaking at the NFL Women’s Summit, Goodell said that the league will extend the Rooney Rule requirements for interviews with executives to women. “We have something called the Rooney Rule which requires us to make sure when we have an opening at the team level or the league level that we are going to interview a diverse slate of candidates,” Goodell said. “We are going to make a commitment and we’re going to formalize that we as a league are going to do that for women at all of our executive positions.” Goodell noted that the league added two women to senior positions over the last year or so and stressed the league’s desire for more “diversity in our management.” The effectiveness of the Rooney Rule at fulfilling the goal of increasing the number of minority coaches and executives has been debated since its adoption and this expansion will likely lead to the same reaction as it gets implemented in the future. http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/201...tive-positions/Roger Goodell and the NFL would crash a drag racer into the wall trying to be "ahead of the curve"
Am I the only one that pronounces hyperbole "Hyper-bowl" instead of "hy-per-bo-le"?

I've been trying to come up with a joke where I say, "I'm a West Coast liberal who thinks (ridiculous position), but even I think this is ridiculous."
And it's all true, except I can't come up with a position ridiculous enough.
From now on, anyone hiring a midwife must interview a male candidate!
There just aren't a lot of women in football. Period.

Sign of the times I'm afraid folks. Fire Brigade in Melbourne copping some serious heat (see what I did there.) in their current recruitment campaign as they've capped male applicants but will still take females. They've also ditched the order of merit which they use to select the best applicants. Message is, you wanna be a firefighter? Get a front bottom.

The NFLs problem isn't black, white, male or female. It's nepotism. NFL personalities value comfortability over what a person can or can't do.

Jimmy Haslam IV:
I'm pleased to announce the 117th coach for the Cleveland Browns: Sharquando Rodgriguez.
She's an African American, Latino, Transexual, Lesbian, Paraplegic with a great football mind.
"First down inside the 10. A score here will put us in the Super Bowl. Cooper is far to the left as Njoku settles into the slot. Moore is flanked out wide to the right. Chubb and Ford are split in the backfield as Watson takes the snap ... Here we go."

I fail to understand why we would need this rule. How about we hire qualified people, male, female, white, black, brown, purple or whatever. Should we include children under 10 years old just to cover everyone?
I bet you're wondering the samething I did, why O' why didn't I take the...blue pill

I believe one should be allowed to hire whom ever they feel will best help their club. no matter the race or sex. just silly to me. In my opinion this rule is just dated. clubs will hire a black person just as much as a white or brown person and does not need to be told to interview all races just so someone does not feel left out or whatever..jmo

The premise of the rule is to look good in the media. There were already a couple of female hires recently without the rule.

I'm referring to the time when the rule was officially enacted, not the most recent comment about female inclusion. But I guess the PR thing is still applicable.

I argue the effectiveness of the rule, and who it impacts.
The person who hires based on merit, and regardless of race/gender, would potentially have to perform one more token interview (if their favored candidate was a white male and not a minority).
The racist/sexist just performs another token interview and doesn't look back isn't really affected.
But hey, we look good because we're doing stuff.
There is no level of sucking we haven't seen; in fact, I'm pretty sure we hold the patents on a few levels of sucking NOBODY had seen until the past few years.

As a woman I find this new rule degrading. Who wants to be a token interview? People should be interviewed and hired based on their qualifications. Be it a man or a woman.

Executive positions.
General Manager? President?
How many Women actually have the credentials to warrant an interview process?
Why does the NFL do things Ass Backwards?
Why extend it to the top executive positions right off the bat.
Where it is below that needs opening to be made. Where the qualifications are not great to get there on that level. How bought how people like Mangini started - BALL BOY.
How bought where Paul DeP started....Intern with no pay. Open those doors up for the women let them Learn the organizations inside and out as they climb UP THE LADDER.
If is from there you can then say - HEY WE HAVE ALL THESE QUALIFIED Candidates not getting opportunities and pust that Rule for Execs. Until they open the doors at the lower levels where individuals can learn and grow.

The same comments were made about the coaching Rooney rule.. why is it for HC's only? The objective should be to hire more minority position coaches and then let them rise to the top based on their abilities... which is the same thing you are saying in the FO..
Hire them to be the Assistant to the Personnel Director or something..
The ones that are good will rise up, the ones that are not will get weeded out.

I like the ruling. I hope it brings more diversity to a league that desperately needs it. With more female inclusion perhaps the NFL will finally take a stand against domestic violence and sexual assault.
EO you ask what their qualifications are? What are Sashi Browns qualifications? Was he a ball boy? Did he "earn" his football cred? You telling me there are no female lawyers from Harvard with big brains and no real football experience?
The more women involved in the league the better the league will be.

Shashi Brown chose to give up the big bucks and get into football. He rose up the ladder. He had plenty of experience when he joined our Organization. He climbed up that ladder as well.
Your implications that he is somehow unqualified is falling on deaf eyes...lol 
He earned his way up. Female Harvard Lawyers probably do not LOVE football enough to turn down the big corporate bucks to start on a lower level and climb all the way up. Your point totally misses the mark except to show that you have no faith in the Sashi Brown and his task at hand...duly noted.

For you that is fine. Not for me.
I'm a wait and see. I'm not quite sure you and possibly me are not grasping on how this is set up to work.
Different is a natural concern. What do you know about Sashi Brown to make it a legitimate concern? How much do you know about him. Have you talked to him? Do you know for a fact he is clueless about football and the organizations of the NFL?
What I do know is he has spent MANY years as young as he is in the NFL industry. He shot up the ladder. He was hired by Banner who knew the business and football side of football. He grew in our Organization and was a no brainer in our regime changes.
I think the masses totally don't get what we got here. This whole thing lies in Hue Jackson's hands. He is the HEAD everyone else put here has been put here to make it work with a Job description. Oh right theoretically he controls the roster. How many times have we heard that we will have the personnel side we will have the HC side controlling the roster.
Legitimate concern... to the individuals who get concerned about what they do not know. I get it. The unknown in life is almost always feared. Maybe I am at a point in my life where I don't fear anything anymore. I like new and different for an Old guy that is not normal. lol
