		The NFL acted after a stinging report, showing a pattern of racial bias in management positions, was released last fall by lawyers Johnny Cochran and Cyrus Mehri and they threatened legal action against the league if it didn't improve its minority-hiring record.

		Five minority candidates, Mehri said, turned down interview requests from the Lions because it appeared inevitable Mariucci would be hired.
