This is a huge talent pool that includes tons of guys who know the game in a unique way, has demonstrated leadership, and would connect well with the locker room. You don’t enforce quotas but you can use the percentages to know something is off. And it’s not just off. It’s embarrassingly off. So they’re not hiring the best people. In many cases the nfl is such an inbred network that they’re hiring people they know. Unless you’re suggesting that Britt Reid was more qualified to get a shot than a captain who played 4 years in a pro style defense.
You’re overcomplicating so blatantly obvious and simple. Black people represent 70% of players and yet only 3% of their “managers.”

Does being a nfl player correlate to being a above average coach is the question. Some of the best in the game have had no NFL experience. Bill, Andy, McVay, Shanihan.... to me if there is a correlation it is a love game, and figure out a way into coaching. Learning to dissect plays.
Further it is nice if a organization wants to help minorities. Give them a leg up, if they have an issue. But without an issue it becomes reverse discrimination.
The Rooney rule is meant to address this by giving minority candidates valuable interviews. The modification again was meant to as well. Sort of wonder if the latest modification on hiring a minority Head Coaces has back fired. Close call between two coaches and hiring the black coach gives the competition a good draft pick. Who ever thought of that is on drugs. You also need to be aware that not 3 years ago there were 7 black coaches. Maybe there is a natural eb and flow of the ethnicity of coaches.
