The NFL has postponed its coach accelerator program aimed at increasing diversity in coaching positions, with plans to relaunch it in 2026.
The decision to postpone the program comes as the league reevaluates and reimagines initiatives in light of current events and feedback.
This postponement aligns with a broader trend of organizations facing scrutiny over diversity and inclusion efforts, amid recent government actions targeting DEI initiatives.
NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell reaffirmed the league's commitment to diversity efforts despite external pressures, emphasizing their belief in the benefits of diversity for the NFL.
