The NFL enacted the Rooney Rule, a principle mandating franchises to interview no fewer than one ‘diverse’ option for vacant head coaching positions in 2003. There were just three African-American head coaches in the NFL when the rule was put into place out of 32 positions.Two decades later, still only three African-Americans have that position: Mike Tomlin, Todd Bowles, and DeMeco Ryans.

Mike Tomlin is a good coach but you could argue that he had a lot more success when he was younger (in his 30s).

The trend for the league is to hire a young hotshot coach like Sean McVay who was 36 when he won the Super Bowl.
