The NFL's Cleveland Browns wants to interview former Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice for their vacant head coaching position, reports ESPN's Adam Schefter, though the Browns later denied the report.
Why it matters: Rice, a lifelong Browns fan and current Stanford faculty member, would become the first woman ever interviewed for a head coaching job in the NFL. She previously served a three-year term on the College Football Playoff Selection Committee, telling Sports Illustrated of her selection, "You also want people with a diversity of experiences, people that have had to make decisions and assess information from a wide variety of perspectives. That's why the different experiences and backgrounds people will bring on this committee are also important."
