Impact
In the next 12 seasons under the rule, the NFL added 14 non-white head coaches, although many lost their jobs after a few seasons.

For the 2019 season, eight NFL teams had head coaching vacancies to fill, but only one team, the Miami Dolphins, hired a non-white coach.

2020 Controversy
In recent years, the trend of hiring head coaches in the NFL has shifted towards looking for successful offensive coordinators; a role in which minorities only hold two out of the 32 available positions. In 2020, five new NFL teams had head coaching vacancies to fill, and only one of them hired a non-white coach. Controversy arose when the Cleveland Browns hired Kevin Stefanski, the offensive coordinator for the Minnesota Vikings, and the New York Giants hired Joe Judge, who's highest position on an NFL has been Special Teams Coordinator. This caused controversy because many figures around the league believed that Eric Bieniemy, the offensive coordinator for the Super Bowl winning Kansas City Chiefs, was the candidate most deserving of a head coaching position. Under Eric Bieniemy, the Kansas City Chiefs had the leagues top-ranked offense in the 2018 season, and the 5th ranked offense in 2019.

The 2020 NFL offseason led to many figures questioning the effectiveness of this rule due to Eric Bieniemy not receiving serious consideration for a head coaching position and other such controversy's since the rules inception. To fulfill the requirements of this rule, many teams interview non-white coaches that have been around the league for years and have had previously unsuccessful stints as head coaches. Critics of the rule argue that the rule has been largely ineffective, and in some situations, it has even had the opposite effect; with non-white coaches being interviewed without being given serious consideration just to fulfill the requirement
