NEW YORK — Hall of Fame coach John Madden will serve as a special adviser to NFL commissioner Roger Goodell.
The league said Thursday that as part of his unpaid position Madden will chair the coaches group in the competition committee. Madden will also participate in meetings of a general managers committee and be part of a weekly call with Goodell or another NFL official to discuss issues from the previous week's games.
Madden retired from broadcasting in April. He says the new role allows him to stay active in football. Goodell says that when Madden suggested helping out, "it was an offer we couldn't refuse."
Madden lives in Pleasanton and plans to spend his Sundays watching games from his new man cave at his office, where 10 63-inch television have been set up along with a theater projection screen. He also plans to attend all Raiders home games.
