IMO, this is the most ridiculous thing ever. How can you force a team to interview somebody? Do they really think that by forcing them to interview minority candidates they'll increase the number of minority coaches? Teams will still hire whoever they want, they'll conduct a number of "fake" interviews to follow the rules.
Or how about teams that already decided who their next coach would be, for example Lions last year. They'd have to interview a minority coach just to adhere to this rule. Now if you were that coach, how would you feel, knowing this interview means nothing and you won't get that job.
