Nobody here finds the ratio of white coaches to non-white coaches odd? Think of how many players in the NFL are non-white. Doesn't it stand to reason that, if all things being fair and equal, there should be at the very least a slightly higher percentage of non-white coaches?
If they are going to change anything, they need to find a way to get more minorities hired on at the start of their careers, and then make sure they have the same opportunities as their white peers to progress up the coaching ladder. I'm curious what the racial makeup is for scouting/positional coaches. If there is a relatively higher percentage there than at the top, then that is a good place to look for a way to fix things long term. JMHO

For a minute there, I thought you were going to require a certain amount of white guys on a team, like with a rule or something. But equally dim-minded is the thought that "talking about color" is what causes men's hearts to tend towards racism. |

We know that talented players don't often make the best coaches. So if it's a different skill set, then maybe there doesn't have to be a strong correlation between the racial ratios of players and coaches. No one really gets mad that 67% NFL players are African American. That just seems normal even if the US population is only 13% African African American. There obviously some reason we have a far larger ratio of African-American NFL athletes, but I'd guess it's based more on interest and talent than racism. Is it possible that the ratio of coaches more closely resembles the national ratio because of a different playing field in terms of talent and interest? Right now about 9% of the coaches are African American, but last year it was about 15% (2% higher than the national ratio). It seems to me that maybe there should be more study put into that before forcing a more divisive rule than the one we already have. Just a thought. |

Can you even imagine someone complaining that there aren't enough white players? Think of the coaches that are white, but why do all the good players gotta be black? Or not enough white RB's? It is just as stupid. |
