And while you can clearly point to exceptions to the rule, on the whole the opportunities tend to lean one direction. Almost every hiring cycle there are a few wtf coaching hires. Whether it’s hiring a TE coach, a guy with no coaching experience, or hiring a retread… of course there are exceptions to the rule but these opportunities rarely go to black coaches. So understandably people look at someone like EB and think to themselves… he may not be Andy Reid, but someone actually believed he’d be worse than Adam gase or joe judge? Is anyone looking at this string of HC hires so far and thinking any team has really knocked it out of the park? Is Jim Caldwells track record actually worse than Dan Quinn who is an it guy right now?
Without a doubt there is a hesitation to move black coaches up the ranks. It’s not easy to figure out why that is or how you even solve for it. Except to acknowledge that it’s not natural.

What? Then what the **** are you arguing here?
If you don’t think it’s racism, then why is it so hard for you to see the current trend of QB coaches and understand that most QBs and QB coaches are white?
