Abstract
This report provides an overview and analysis of occupational mobility patterns in the National FootballLeague (NFL). Volume I in the NFL Diversity & Inclusion Series examined coaching mobility patterns within the NFL. This report functions as an update and supplement to the Volume I report. This report extends the findings in Volume I through an analysis of over fifty years of human resource data (1963-2014) provided by the NFL relating to the mobility patterns of NFL coaches. In addition, this report specifically focuses on mobility patterns of head coaches, offensive coordinators, defensive coordinators and general managers from the start of the 2012 NFL season (September 5, 2012) to Super Bowl XLVIII (February 2, 2014). This report offers practical recommendations with respect to further improvements to current diversity and inclusion business practices implemented by the NFL and individual NFL teams. Many companies, organizations and institutions present compelling evidence that creating a diverse and inclusive workforce is not only better for everyone involved but also is simply good business in terms of achieving strategic organizational objectives.
