Ex-Cincinnati Bengals coach Marvin Lewis says giving owners a draft incentive to hire minorities is 'like having Jim Crow laws' ... ripping the proposal as straight-up 'offensive.'
As for compensating teams with draft picks? Lewis isn't happy with that, either.
"Draft picks are like gold. That doesn’t make a lot of sense to me. As a head coach, no one wants to be hired or put in that position." Owners DID vote to expand the Rooney Rule to require teams to interview at least 2 minority candidates when hiring new coaches ... which Lewis says is a good thing. "This will be a plus requiring more than one minority to be interviewed because it will cause them to take a deeper dive."
FYI -- there are currently 4 minority coaches and 2 minority GMs in the NFL, which is comprised of 32 total teams.
