So now there is this.....
The NFL will require every team to hire a minority or female offensive assistant coach for the 2022 season.

According to Florio, the Pats would already be in compliance because HALF of both there offensive and defensive staffs are African American.

BUT if the league is going to pay the salary as the article suggests, why not bring in another ex-patriot on the staff. If Ivan Fears is indeed retiring, I would love to see Kevin Faulk, take the RB coaches job.
Now, since we can no longer define what a "woman" is, how is this going to be enforceable? Can say Vinnie just identify as a woman, or better yet, as a woman of color?
In a league that most of the players are African American, it would only be logical that the majority of the coaches would be. It is nice to see that BB is once again, already way ahead of the curve, and not because of some virtual signaling edict from the Billionaires that own the NFL teams, but because he hires the men that played for him, and that he respects there talents (hmmm, isn't that how you are supposed to be hired for a job?).
We should rightfully ding BB for his blatant nepotism, with his sons and Al Groh's kid.
