The NFL is amending the Rooney Rule to require more interviews of minority candidates for head coach and coordinator positions, according to reports. At least two minority candidates will have to be interviewed for a head coach job, and at least one for a coordinator spot.

The Rooney Rule requires that minority candidates be interviewed for head coach and senior football operation jobs. The change is being made due to a lack of progress in diversity in hiring for those positions.
