You’ve been slowly indoctrinated to believe that any time there aren’t a certain amount of black peoples for a particular job/profession that it’s a problem. Why?
Life is complicated. Sometimes there are no solutions to perceived problems. I think the Rooney Rule is a perfect example of that. You could argue that it’s only made things worse.

Because it is very hard to believe that out of the enormous, disproportionately black pool of athletes who have played the game, captained their team and had off the charts football IQ the pipeline shouldn’t be way deeper. Or that these guys are overwhelmingly under qualified to run locker rooms they grew up around. That is a qualification that is an enormous resume boost. It doesn’t add up that this wouldn’t translate well to coaching.
So yeah, when the numbers are disproportionately black you don’t expect for the coaching to be overwhelmingly not black.
