[@dionj.pierre]

The answer to this simple: identify black nerds when they’re young and give them a possible track to become coaches if they have talent. I personally don’t know a single other black person (other than myself and I’m very much black ish) who loves football AND would love to coach. The culture pushes most young black guys interested in football to turn their bodies into ATMs when most of them aren’t going to sustain a pro level career. Blacks who can coach well are out here, but come on everyone should use their eyes to see what the problem is. All the black kids growing up want to be Lamar not Bill Belichick, the Wesleyan graduate turned 6x SB winning coach. If the media simply made it cool for black kids to use their brains a change would occur. If Lamar had all his talent but with headset strapped to his ear, he would for sure inspire young black kids to consider coaching. And the other thing too is culture. Football’s culture is very ‘Jacksonian’ old America. There’s no room for the hip hop attitude at the stadium. So a Mike Tomlin, Tony Dungy, or Jim Caldwell are always going to be the mold after which black coaches are sculpted. But you can’t mold black coaches in that image if black kids are taught from youth not just to prefer a Lamar-type over a Tomlin-type, but to alienate a Tomlin-type and condemn him as an abettor of the system. There are dimensions to this that FOX can’t explore on its morning television. I really wouldn’t try.

Not Only do NFL Owners Conduct "TOKEN" Interviews with Minority Candidates for Head Coaching Openings, On the Rare Occasion a Minority Candidate is Selected to through The Interview Process to Become a Head Coach of an NFL Franchise, it is Often a Reclaimation Project. Most of The Time, if Hired, the Teams Front Office and Ownership Expect for the Team to Struggle for a Season or Two while The Team Stockpiles Talent through the Draft and Free Agency. What Usually happens though is Once the Front Office and Ownership feel they have a Talented Enough Team to be a Contender, what Usually Happens is The Minority Hire is Let Go for the Next Hot Shot Coaching on a Playoff or Superbowl Team. Or like in The Case of Lovie Smith, The Hot Shot Assistant could be Your Own Offensive Coordinator. The Year Lovie Smith was Fired from being The HC of The Tampa Bay Bucs, He had Won 4 more Games than his Previous Year There as HC. And He Did it with a Rookie(Jameis Winston)QB and He Still Lost his Job, Only To Be Replaced by his Own Offensive Coordinator. Dirk Koetter. Hue Jackson Won 1 Game in 2 Seasons as HC of The Browns. Then in His Third Season when The Team has Multiple Wins and a Tie and They Fire Him???? This Year The Miami Dolphins Have a Minority Head Coach. The Dolphins have Also been Accused of Tanking to Get High Picks in The Draft. It will Be Interesting to See How The Miami Front Office Treats Their Minority Hire Once they Have All Those Draft Picks in House and made a Free Agent Acquisition or Two.

[@fcdl61]

To anyone complaining about lack of minority coaches in the NFL, tell me which minority coaches are getting overlooked? Ron Rivera was hired right after Black Monday and had multiple teams interested. Marvin Lewis and Hue Jackson don’t count. Alot teams would fire their HC if Tony Dungy wanted a specific job.

[@fcdl61]

I hear Jim Caldwell a lot. What’s great about him? The Lions were at best 9-7 and had some talented rosters.

[@fcdl61]

Daniel Hill problem is that he’s a DC. It seems like most black coaches are defensive coaches. More teams want offensive coaches especially QB coaches.

[@dariusewing6962]

JJ Wat he had a better record than Matt with the lions... heck 9-7 was better than 9 wins in two seasons idk..... Jim did take the Lions to the playoffs but hey I guess u don’t mind the loses

[@Bluecmu]

@@fcdl61 He went 11-5 his first year and made the playoffs twice. On top of that, he's the first Lions coach to have a winning record since Joe Schmidt (1967-1972) and has a 56% winning percentage which is the best since Buddy Parker in the 1950s. This is why Caldwell is great because he wins....simple as that.

@@kristopherrice1465 I don't think a person should get a job based on the color of their skin however if the Rooney Rule is not working and not creating diversity and given qualified minorities opportunities at coaching then the players of that ethnicity should take on that issue and boycott.

[@journalism101]

@@terrylanda7348 first of all, don't get smart or angry with me because I agree with everything that you said. I'm not the one that's upset or complaining about the Rooney Rule. I'm calling out the players who are upset that Colin Kaepernick isn't getting an opportunity but yet won't take any action and they claim they want to address racism but they're not even addressing the racism in the disadvantages of the Rooney rule. I think the NFL is way less racist then the NBA and the MLB and the NHL and the WWE and Hollywood. I think the NFL has done a lot to help black men prosper in America and is unfairly targeted however there is some racism in the NFL and these players who are for social justice need to address it instead of just trying to get an average quarterback his job back. Last but not least, of course the NFL has put on more black people than me because I'm not an entrepreneur you idiot.

How do you know they were “token interviews”? Is it possible that the coaches hired out performed all the others interviewed?

[@revans100591]

So Matt Rhule or that wide receiver coach that presided over the worst group of wide receiver coaches for a contender this year is better than Marvin Lewis? The Cincinnati Bengals head coach got the job for just being near the Rams head coach nothing more nothing less or Freddy Kitchens who was a running back coach that got promoted to head coach with no experience? They make it real easy to call them out on their bs.

[@sethmarie]

Sometimes hires are similar to a white coach who is intern assistant for the defensive backs. To a Black coach who was a top defensive coordinator for years. But, the inexperience white intern coach gets a HC position over a proven experience Black defensive coordinator. It's almost that scenario sometimes.

[@Oliveraseddie1]

Reeal Evans again... none of us was in the interview to know how it went. Assuming someone is being racist without concrete evidence, is never a good thing. I personally believe the owners should hire who they believe is the best candidate for their club REGARDLESS of race.

[@Oliveraseddie1]

Run Gunn I’ll believe it once I see a shred of evidence stating the race was the deciding factor.

[@Oliveraseddie1]

Run Gunn that doesn’t tell me anything. I am a minority working in a management level position where I’m drastically out numbered by white ppl. I applied for the position and my track record plus my interview but me above others seeking this position... many who were white. Again, show me concrete evidence where it is being said that they are hiring a person because of their skin color. Did they even apply for the job? Or are they waiting for a phone call? If I want a job, I’m reaching out to that company and not waiting on them to make the first move.

[@blueballedtech]

So you mean to tell me a sport which is 70-80% black, doesn't have anybody who is capable enough to coach?? I don't believe that. Rooney rule is a farce, because its just a dog and pony show. This isn't 4.4 40 yard dash, or 4.3 yard dash etc. It's about leadership, and strategy. I won't say experience, because there are several coaches without any background in the NFL with jobs.

america was built on racism, still operates on racism at every level in every sector. The history of American economics closely resembles that of Ancient Egypt, slave labor created and was the foundation of both economies. Most glaring difference was the Hebrews never wanted to integrate with the Egyptians they never wanted integration per say they always wanted separation their own land,religion, customs etc The American oppressed always wanted integration and the oppressors have sophisticatedly created way to integrate but keep distance true equality, Those who create and dictate the rules have always been the oppressors or descendants of the oppressors, the inability to create wealth and transfer wealth down generations has always been the Achilles hill of the oppressed.
