Fair point on Dan Campbell but that puts him in no different place than eB who also has head coaching experience and unlike Campbell was in charge of his offense. It’s less about treating coaches unfairly when they get in the chair. But can you think of a single black hc that jumped the ranks from no coordinator experience to HC? Have to think way back to herm and singletary for that one. Or that has a resume with less than 10 years experience, usually way more? For whatever reason black coaches aren’t getting the same kind of leadership opportunities. These are opportunities that for some reason haven’t been given to black coaches and even retreads get way more opportunities.
Maybe that’s changing with black DCs being very well represented in the playoffs. Again, I don’t know what the solution is but it’s clear that there’s an obvious problem and forcing reverse racism isn’t the solution. This should and needs to happen organically.

I'm not sure why you're citing Romeo as an example, either. He was retained by the Chiefs on a permanent basis after he served an interim coach. Then 2-14 happened.
With the Texans, he went 4-8.
Williams is probably the closest example to Bisaccia, but he still didn't make the POs.
Bienemy has no HC experience at any level. Additionally, without rehashing the same topic, look at Bienemy's past off the field.
Raheem Morris only served as a DC for 1 year at Kansas St. before going to the Bucs as a DB coach. He was promoted to DC without ever coaching a game as DC before he was hired as Gruden's successor in the offseason.
With regards to black coaches having a lack of leadership opportunities, I agree. There's no reason why someone like Bowles, Frazier, Morris shouldn't have another opportunity as HC. Same thing applies to Ryans, Mayo, etc.
