NEW YORK (AP) — A record 96 minority coaches have taken part in this summer’s NFL Minority Coaching Fellowship.
The program, named in honor of former San Francisco 49ers coach Bill Walsh, attracted former Redskins tackle Chris Samuels, former Tampa Bay linebacker Derrick Brooks, and ex-Rams receiver Isaac Bruce, all of whom retired this year.
Current head coaches Marvin Lewis of Cincinnati, Mike Tomlin of Pittsburgh, Lovie Smith of Chicago and Raheem Morris of Tampa Bay came through the internship program, which Lewis says “was a great exposure to new ideas.”
