Will we get an additoinal draft pick for hiring Wilks full time?

[45catfan]

Since Wilks is a minority coach to a get a HC spot (if that actually occurs) even though it is our own team, will we qualify for the additional draft pick?  If the promotion to HC wasn't to a different team, does that disqualify the pick?  I say there's some gray area there.

2020 RESOLUTION JC-2A

Whereas, the member clubs believe that policies designed to promote equal employment opportunity and a diverse and inclusive workforce advance significant league interests, including improved decision making, enhanced business performance, and representing the NFL as an employer of choice that hires and promotes based on merit; and

Whereas, the member clubs have adopted policies extending over several decades in furtherance of these goals, including policies designed to permit upward mobility and advancement of club employees, particularly those in coaching and football operations roles; and

Whereas, the member clubs believe that it is appropriate to take additional steps to enhance opportunities for employment and advancement of minorities and women in key positions, including leadership roles in coaching, personnel, and football operations,

Be it Resolved, that the League Policy on Equal Employment and Workplace Diversity will be amended as follows:

(i) The employer-club of a minority employee who has been hired by another club as its Head Coach or Primary Football Executive (General Manager) shall receive Draft choice compensation in the form of a compensatory Draft pick in the third round in each of the next two Drafts for an employee hired as either a Head Coach or Primary Football Executive, or for the next three Drafts if it has two employees hired for both positions. The reference to the hiring of employees into “both positions” could be by the same club or different clubs. The following will apply to the Draft choice compensation:
a. Any compensatory Draft picks awarded pursuant to this Policy will be at the end of the third round following all compensatory Draft picks awarded to clubs pursuant to Appendix V of the NFL-NFLPA Collective Bargaining Agreement.
b. If multiple clubs are awarded compensatory Draft picks pursuant to this Policy, then the order of those picks at the end of the third round will follow the original selection order for that Draft established prior to any trades or other adjustments.

(ii) The employer-club shall be eligible to receive this Draft choice compensation if:
a. The minority employee hired as a Head Coach or Primary Football Executive has been employed by the employer-club for a minimum of two full seasons; and
b. The minority employee is not the Head Coach or Primary Football Executive of the employer-club and is hired into the same position with the new club. There can be no break in employment between clubs.

Submitted by Workplace Diversity Committee

Effect: Establishes a system that rewards clubs for developing minority employees who move to the position of Primary Football Executive or Head Coach with other clubs.

Reason: Supports development opportunities for minority employees to advance goals of diversity, equity and inclusion.

So a promotion within the same organization to HC does not qualify. I wasn't sure, but I doubt teams would promote minority assistants to HC just to swindle an extra 3rd rounder.  That would be silly.  It should count.  That said, If Wilks doesn't land the job here and catches on elsewhere as a HC, then we definitely qualify for the extra pick.

Ryans qualifies and I want more picks. Bring in minority HC and coordinators get picks

You don’t receive any draft compensation for hiring a minority HC. It’s only if they’re hired away from your organization (as coordinator or above) and they’ve been with you for two years.

It definitely should count and opens an unwanted loophole that discourages us from hiring Wilks as HC. I posted a thread about it a while ago. If all else is equal between candidates, we could try to keep Wilks as DC and when he’s inevitably hired away receive two 3rd rounders. 
 

All else won’t be equal though bc Wilks has support of the locker room as a tiebreaker.
