Re: Our next coach??

Are there any teams that have women serving in any significant capacity? From a legal perspective, how can the NFL's hiring practices not be considered discrimatory?

Well there's Amy Trask-CEO of the Raiders

Gabrielle Dow-VP Marketing Ravens

Katie Blackburn-EVP Cincinnati Bengals

Kimberly Williams-COO NFL Network

and many more, but mostly they're on the business side of things

very interesting. I wonder - are there any particular "rules" which would prohibit a woman from holding a coaching position? I imagine there could not be legally, but I find it interesting that no woman's really ever tried to get such a position. I'm sure some could agrue that having female coaches could be "distracting" to male players, but I dont see how someone could argue that it would be more "distracting" than a gay coach would be to players or how a straight coach to some gay players (has there ever been an openly gay NFL player?)

I suppose sports is just one of those areas where its socially acceptable to discriminate based on gender and everyone agrees its the best way to handle things.
