NFL owners should look to existing research on what makes a good coach, and copy how the most successful organizations lower bias in the hiring process
There's vast bodies of academic research that suggest that conscientiousness (i.e. attention to detail) and intelligence (i.e. decision making) are the two best predictors of performance for the vast majority of jobs. It's also important that structured interviews be based on critical competencies of the role, it it was me I'd give an applicant a work sample/coaching scenario and let them reason in real-time what their decision making process would be, with their process being more critical than their conclusions.

I think a lot of the findings about what works for all hiring probably applies to NFL head coaches. Thanks for the info!
