Eight NFL teams hired coaches and seven more filled general manager positions. None of those jobs went to a minority.

Now the league is considering revisions to the “Rooney Rule,” which mandates that teams must interview at least one minority candidate for front-office and head coaching jobs.

“While there has been full compliance with the interview requirements of the Rooney Rule and we wish the new head coaches and general managers much success, the hiring results this year have been unexpected and reflect a disappointing lack of diversity,” Robert Gulliver, the NFL’s executive vice president of human resources, said in a statement.

“We have already started the process of developing a plan for additional steps that will better ensure more diversity and inclusion on a regular basis in our hiring results.”

There were 203 minority coaches in the NFL in 2012, including six head coaches. With Lovie Smith and Romeo Crennel out, four minorities will start the 2013 season as head coaches. That’s the fewest since 2003.
