The NFL has specific policies regarding interviews and potential hires of coaching and football executive positions, and the Arizona Cardinals are so far in step with those regulations.
Among head coach candidates who are of diverse backgrounds, Cardinals defensive coordinator Vance Joseph is considered a top option for the job to replace Kliff Kingsbury. ESPN reported that Joseph will interview next week. Two NFL executives held a video conference call with media who cover the league on Thursday afternoon to highlight the league's initiatives in promoting and requiring minority candidates for the two general manager and five head coach positions that are currently open, along with a number of offensive and defensive coordinator positions.
In years past, the NFL wasn't known for its diversity in high-level positions. It took decades for things to change, to have people in places of key decision-making that were more reflective of the demographics of the NFL. Jonathan Beane, Senior Vice President, Chief Diversity & Inclusion Officer for the NFL, offered some statistics. He said the league currently has eight general managers who are diverse, which is an all time high. Eight team presidents, including newly hired Kevin Warren coming back to the league as president of the Chicago Bears, join three women who are presidents as well. Fifteen clubs have women as part of their ownership.
The rule was first in place to ensure increased consideration of diverse candidates for head coach, coordinator and primary football executive positions. For each one of those roles, at least two external diverse candidates must be interviewed during that process.
