What's happening to NFL and black coaches?

Post by RubeTube »

Many articles coming out of the "White privilege" in NFL HC jobs. Article after article is out over this epidemic. What gives?

Kaepernick is better than most NFL QBs, he can't get a shot. Brother Hunt jobless for hardly a act of violence.

There has to be some minority coaches worth their weight right? Here's a article to the question.

https://www.nytimes.com/2018/12/31/spor ... fired.html

Is it time to boycott? Give me your thoughts.

I almost said you lost all credibility with posting this sort of garbage, but then I remembered you dont have any to begin with. Incredible - not sure which statement is my favorite. :lol:

:lol: I stopped reading right there. Kaepernick is barely a 60% passer and A LOT of games he'll give you below 60% and sometimes below 50%. Kaepernick is not "better than most". His defense and Frank Gore made them a good team despite Kaepernick.
It's been 32 years since one of MN's four major sports teams has been to the Championship/Superbowl.

While indeed, that was a completely justifiable stopping point in reading as it was off the ***nope*** scale, you really should have kept reading as you would have learned that what "Brother Hunt" did wasnt violent. Not sure what is funnier, "Brother Hunt" or a moron actually and seriously trying to state that pushing and kicking a woman ain't violence.

It does seem like the black fanbase has largely left NFL (at least in this area). You used to see all kinds of minorities in the stands at Vikings games. Look around next time you're at an NFL game. Mostly white people. It's been this way for awhile now (maybe a decade? maybe longer?).

I think the price point has a lot to do with this as well.

This. Also look how many white people quit the NBA in the early 2000's. SI did a very extensive article on this back then. Polled white fans etc. It was quit the revelation at the time.

They can't have "Blacks" taking over the whole game. They belittled black QBs for a LONG time. That's finally changing. Someone has to be white to keep that interest.

If hiring the blackest motherfucker ever as coach guaranteed the owner a Super Bowl, they all would in a heartbeat.

The problem is that by the time you’re up at the NFL level, the legitimate candidates seem to be all white guys, QB coaches, coordinators and college head coaches.

The problem stems from below the major college level.

I’m not going to hold it against NFL owners or major college ADs for hiring the coach with the best resume and passing on recent former players like Duce Staley and Byron Leftwich who just don’t have much experience in coaching at a high level yet.

In general, the top grassroots and youth coaches become the pool of coaches who become high school coaches. The best high school coaches find jobs at the college level. The best college coaches get jobs in the NFL, and NFL head coaches and coordinators are selected from there.

If the NFL wants more black coaches, they have to invest in giving minorities coaching opportunities lower down the totem pole so that development can be made.

Yeah, how bout hiring the best candidate? Who cares what color their skin is? The only racism here is one in which it's suggested that more black coaches need to be hired. The best candidates need to be hired.

Well, there is that. :lol:

People look way too much into this shit. That's what all these sports talk shows on radio and tv have done--caused everyone to "read between the lines" and find stuff that isn't there. Leslie Frazier got replaced by Mike Zimmer because he was an inferior coach. Sure, some things out of his control didn't fall his way, but that's bad luck, and goes for everyone, in everything, across the board.

I think Ash is right. Coach's get promoted from the ground up, and once they are established at some level, there may be nepotism resulting in their kids getting a head start and in some cases the kids ascend their fathers to a higher level of football, and the cycle continues.

The NFL doesn't necessarily define what "Football" is. Many people think college football is the best version of the game out there, and haedly care for the NFL. Some people enjoy the hell out of High School football, then go on to live normal lives.

There's plenty of black coaches who make an impact on players at all levels of the game. NFL coaches are just the ones who make the most money.

First of all, I fundamentally disagree with having a quota of “minority” coaches. Second, the world runs on money. With all the money being made by black pro athletes, they should pool their money and buy a team and hire all black coaching staff if they want to. The only way anything will ever change is by having enough money to buy your way in.

Yep. And there's also a ton of nepotism going on along the way that gives an edge to the offspring of all these old, white coaches. It's tough to break into those coaching trees in the good ol' boys club.

Why has nobody brought up that just last year there was 7 black head coaches. That rounds up to 22% of the league, yet blacks in general only make up 12.3% of the US population.

They were actually OVER REPRESENTED as NFL head coaches in comparison to their own percentage of the American people.

This is a non-issue.

Yeah, like 5/7 are gone now.

Additionally, what % of NFL players in the last 40 years are/were black?
