peenie 2,023 Posted February 8, 2022 I really can’t believe that after all these pages, after all the football games you’ve watched, after all of these years, you honestly believe that the only reason there is currently only 1 black coach is because they’re just not qualified. You also believe black coaches are allowed to fail and continue to get other coaching jobs like other coaches? You don’t see any doors remaining closed to them at all? You know there was a time when the NFL was all white. Do you think that is because black athleticism only began in the 70’s? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You know there was a time when the NFL was all white. Do you think that is because black athleticism only began in the 70’s? AA's are 15% of US population. Male AAs would be approximately 8% of the population. There are 32 teams in the NFL, 8% of 32 = 2.56. So if the percentage of coaches who are AA would match population size - we are off by 1.56 coaches. Since you can't have .56 of a person, call it off by 1 or 2. That's what you are getting agitated about, 1 or 2 coaches out of 31? Lovie Smith just got hired. So we are at 2 AA NFL coaches. And the NFL has taken actions to improve the AA representation in the coaching ranks. Marvin Lewis had a bad team for years and years, never got fired. Romeo Crennel has cycled thru about 50 different HC and Asst HC jobs in his career. Those are just off of the top of my head. What exactly is the problem?

There are now 2 black HCs, there have been more over the years. NFL owners want to win, bottom line, doesn't matter color of coach. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Well, the rest of us live in the real world. We are not all equally positioned in this world. We have strengths and weaknesses. The beauty of our system is that hard work can offset those factors, and it does.....every day. But hey, if it helps someone to pretend its because of something other then merit and effort....run with that. I mean, after all, look at all the success THAT has delivered. If you want to help your community here are a few simple steps. 1) Stop whining, no one cares, work harder 2) Stop pretending that "street" is the measure of quality, its education and hard work 3) If you do these three simple things you significantly enhance your potential in this life 1- Finish high school 2- Dont be a focking moron and commit a crime/get arrested 3- Dont have kids before you are 21 Ref: Brookings Institute It's time to stop whining, and to start working.

He'll be the race they want him to be when it suits their purpose. Harris was recognized as the first female "Asian" to be elected senator... then when she became the VP, she was all of a sudden "Black". McDaniel will be white while hired because it gives the black angle more juice. If he wins, he'll be used as a symbol of why minority head coaches should be targeted. Obviously, if he's fired, it'll be because of racism. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

peenie 2,023 Posted February 8, 2022 Seems like playing football would be one of the ways of becoming a coach. Since blacks make up the majority of players but not coaches what is it that they’re not doing? Since, the door is wide open to anyone qualified. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If there are people complaining that they are not getting the job they are applying and are qualified for and this has been a complaint for many years now, I think it’s worth discussing. If White men can be women, I think black men can be NFL football coaches. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
