Maral Javadifar thought Katie Sowers making history a year ago as the first female to coach in a Super Bowl meant that topic had been handled once and for all.
Nope.
Thanks to Tampa Bay coach Bruce Arians, there are twice as many women to help with the ensuing media attention. Javadifar, assistant strength and conditioning coach, and assistant defensive line coach Lori Locust follow in Sowers’ footsteps with the Bucs the only NFL team with two female coaches this season.
“I do look forward to the day that it’s no longer newsworthy to be a woman working in the pros or making the Super Bowl for that matter,” Javadifar said Monday. “And, you know, I hope we get to a point where all people are afforded equal opportunities to work in professional sports because there are a lot of great qualified coaches out there.”

Jared Goff s overall record as the Rams quarterback is quite strong, but it s not keeping his job completely secure.
The writing has started to appear on the wall in bits and pieces in the last two weeks for Los Angeles, which might be headed toward a significant change under center. NFL Network Insider Ian Rapoport reported an open quarterback competition between Goff and backup John Wolford should be expected this summer if Los Angeles does not trade Goff before the Rams open camp.

Question of the Day FILE - In this Aug. 18, 2020, file photo, Washington full-year coaching intern Jennifer King watches practice at the team’s NFL football training facility in Ashburn, Va. For the first time in NFL history, there will be two female coaches . more > By Matthew Paras - The Washington Times - Tuesday, January 26, 2021
Last year, when Randy Jordan was one of the lone holdovers from Jay Gruden’s staff, the Washington running backs coach found himself relying on his intern.
