NFL Fall League Update – Tom Brady Latest Investment from Las Vegas Raiders, Roger Goodell Extension to 2027

League looking to improve diversity

The league is working to increase diversity on its coaching staff.

In an effort to diversify its staff, the NFL decided to hold in-person interviews after the divisional round and slow down the hiring process.

Steelers president Art Rooney II said of the decision: “Last year, we moved it to the Wild Card Game. We pushed it back a week.

“The aim is to increase the time available for interviews to give potential coaches more time to prepare and obviously to give clubs more time to prepare.

“Last year, we did see the process from start to finish taking longer. Our average time to hire a head coach was 26 days, which is up from 13 days a few years ago.”

Rooney serves as chairman of the league’s Diversity Committee.

NFL is rethinking specific tackles for safety

The Associated Press reported yesterday that the NFL is reconsidering the legality of certain tackles to ensure player safety.

Under-hip tackles and thrust pushes have caused a variety of injuries and may be eliminated from the sport.

League executive Jeff Miller said hip drop increases the risk of injury 25 times compared to a standard tackle.

Miller added: “This is callous behavior and we need to try to define and get out of the game.”

“To quantify this for you, we saw injuries on a hip drop more or less every week during the regular season.”

Roger Goodell’s family

Roger Goodell and his wife Jane Skinner had twin girls in 2001.

Not much is known about Goodell’s children except that they are currently in college.

In 2016, Skinner told USA Today that her daughters were athletic and passionate about sports.

“They played both team and individual sports: lacrosse, soccer, tennis and track and field,” the mother-of-two said. “They were on winning teams and losing teams.

“We’re really lucky that they have coaches who emphasize the importance of having fun, learning and working as a team, which I think sometimes gets lost on people in this day and age.
