Roger Goodell has expressed disappointment that only two minorities were hired for seven head-coaching openings despite a growing pool of qualified candidates.

"I'm not sure there's an issue we spent more time with our ownership on," Goodell said. "Our ownership is committed and focused on this."

The commissioner emphasized that lack of diversity isn't just a head-coaching issue but an issue throughout positions on all clubs.

"It's much broader than just head coaches for us," he said. "But head coaches is important. And we put a lot of our policies and focus on that this year. As you know, we had two minority coaches hired this year. But it wasn't what we expected, and it's not what we expect going forward."
