America has the most Women's FIFA World Cup Championships, most Olympic Softball Championships, most Olympic Female Baskeball Championships.... that's three sports that American females have dominated the rest of the world in. So your whole "sports is a man thing" sinks before it even has a chance to try to swim.
It's more an issue that women haven't really played football at a semi-meaningful level (other than what, 2 college kickers?), so how can you coach it at a meaningful level? Same with baseball. Women's fastpitch is for real, they can throw crazy hard for such a large ball, but how the heck would one of them even start to try to help say.. Aroldis Chapman with his grip/pitching motion if he starts getting wild?
Soccer is soccer, basketball is basketball, UFC is UFC... but there's no female MLB or NFL. That's not the MLB or NFL's fault. If qualified people start applying, they will get hired. You can't hire people just because you need to meet a quota or a social acceptance.

Side Note: There are 3 female owners (Bears, Lions, Titans) with another soon to come/basically already running the team (Katie).
Pretty sure it has more to do with the level of contact and violence in the NFL over other sports...
They dont have Pro Women Hockey either as far as i know.
