Also worth noting that Mayo’s comment was essentially in response to Kraft saying he was “colorblind.” Being the first black (edit: NFL) coach in the whitey Boston area is certainly a big deal. I do get a kick out of the GC posters that will claim they “don’t see color.” They’re usually the same people that will say “I wonder why the media didn’t show the name or picture of the person charged with this crime?”

Hey, @Patented Phil, can you kindly point me to the quote where Mayo said the NFL is racist? Here is the majority of his comment about race during his press conference, and he did not say that at all.

Publix has over 1,300 stores in Florida, Alabama, Georgia, South Carolina, North Carolina, Tennessee, and Virginia. Like I said, I’m not saying all NFL players can be head coaches. After all, there are nearly 1,700 players on active rosters at any given time with of course much higher turnover than coaches. But playing in the NFL can certainly help.

I did

That both she and her husband are wealthy, on their own

That’s greed, not Bidenomics

It helps them learn the industry. Publix is arguably the best run supermarket (especially among those with more than just a couple hundred or less stores) in the country, and both its current and former CEO’s started their careers as store clerks.

He was talking about frontline workers becoming CEO’s. I provided an example

She doesn’t need to beg for money

You really think a multi-millionaire needs to be asking for money?

It’s sad that I can’t tell if you’re being sarcastic by blaming this on Biden

Supermarkets don’t have assembly lines. None of this (and I’ve cut out your obvious racism) disagrees with what I have stated in this thread

Publix comes to mind off the top of my head. The previous CEO, current CEO and current President all started as store clerks

Yeah, honestly I was surprised you brought up those skills as among the first things about coaching. I actually agree with you for the most part…playing in the NFL does not make you a good coach. But knowing what it takes to make it in the NFL can certainly help. That’s why I think a realistic target should be more like somewhere in between the % of players and the % of total population. I’m an NCAA wrestling fan and this discussion comes up a lot. An overwhelming majority of D1 coaches were D1 All Americans as athletes, with many of the coaches of the top schools being national champions. Many (including myself) question whether success as an athlete should be a prerequisite for becoming a D1 head coach. It’s a little different because many of them will actually wrestle with the team members, so it would help in that scenario, but still an interesting discussion IMO.

I bet that cave is cheaper to rent than a house in Calabassas

There is a gender wage gap and there was previously a lack of black head coaches. But this year’s hires have helped a lot in that regard.

Who are idiots? NFL players?
