Staff USA TODAY Sports
- Updated:
With the 2022 NFL season now well underway, USA TODAY Sports has compiled career histories and biographic information for each of the 722 on-field coaches in the league at the start of this year, from head coaches and coordinators to quality control coaches and fellows.
The data offers unique insights about the makeup of 2022 team coaching staffs, and a snapshot of coaching diversity within the league almost two decades after the 2003 implementation of the Rooney Rule.
USA TODAY Sports ranked each team by the percentage of coaches on staff who identify as coaches of color, as verified by published news articles, public records and information provided by team employees, agents and coaches. The data includes head coaches and excludes strength and conditioning coaches, administrative assistants and interns. The analysis also takes a look at other types of staff diversity, including:
Average age, as of Sept. 1 and including every on-field coach on staff.
Coaching tenure, as the duration that a coach has been with their current team, in any role.
Playing experience, as the percentage of on-field coaches who appeared in at least one NFL regular-season game during their playing career.
