There is a perception that black professionals are not as trustworthy as white professionals to hold elite positions. The perception is the problem.Business aren’t hiring individuals who they think isn’t the best for the job. They are hiring who they think is best. You may not agree with the hire but companies want what is best for their companies/making them money. The idea that businesses hire based on race is stupid. Should we have a requirement to have all companies have an equal proportion of gay, transgender, male/female, black/white, etc people? Geez this world is going to shit very quickly
Dude is a billionaire who didn’t have to work a day in his life, instead decided to make his own path in life. Essentially started working for the titans as a towel boy. He has earned this opportunity.I dont GAF its just interesting to point out. The NFL just went through about 9 months of raising their fist in solidarity with each other and then when the rubber meets the road they hired this guy
I think he's the best of the bunch as well, although I'm not sure it'll matter since he's coaching the Jets. Really like the guy a lot though.He has done a great job in SF. Probably my favorite long term potential hire of the bunch.
I will agree to disagreeThere is a perception that black professionals are not as trustworthy as white professionals to hold elite positions. The perception is the problem.
If the perception was equal there would be no need for the nonsense.

I’m all for hiring the most qualified, but some of the hires are a joke. This ish is ridiculous. Dan Campbell, a TE’s coach got a job and proceeded to tell us how his teams will bite knees.Chargers : Fired Anthony Lynn, Hired Brandon Staley
Falcons: Fired Dan Quinn, Finished season with Raheem Morris, Hired Arthur Smith
Eagles: Fired Doug Pederson, Hired Nick Sirianni
Jaguars: Fired Doug Marrone, Hired Urban Meyer
Detroit Lions: Fired Matt Patricia, HIred Dan Campbell
Jets: Fired Adam Gase, Hired Robert Saleh
Texans: Fired Bill o Brien, Finished season with Romeo Crennel, Hired ???
# of African American coaches that finished the season for their team on this list: 3
# of African American coaches hired: 0
I'm not agitating or offering commentary here, I'm genuinely interested in this.
Several of these hires I'm not sure I would be ok if they got the job at Auburn.
K. Find a problem with everything. It’s the way of the world now.Lmao this argument wouldn’t be needed if everyone understood the point you just tried to make is so wrong.
I'm going to say something controversial. You want more black head coaches hired? Well maybe the ones that do get hired start winning somewhere.
Dig up Turner Gill. Where is that dude anyway?I'm going to say something controversial. You want more black head coaches hired? Well maybe the ones that do get hired start winning somewhere.
Do the Saints have the ability to work that out with their current cap situation? Would be scary to see DW in NOLA with Payton. As a Falcons fan, I hope this doesn't happen.To the Saints hopefully

I think the Texans will go with Bieniemy, but it'll be interesting depending on what goes down with D Watson. They'd be a good fit, but DW seems like he really wants out so maybe EB won't jump at the opportunity. Honestly, if I was EB, I'd stay exactly where I am and wait til Andy Reid retires and take over the Chiefs. Might be a better career choice than joining a shitty franchise and most likely getting fired a few years later, but an NFL HC opportunity would be tough to turn down.
I wouldn't touch the Texans job as dysfunctional as they seem unless they can guarantee me that Watson is gonna be my QB. But that seems like a long shot.

Specifically cornerbackFirst things first: Need more white dudes playing defensive back.
The injustice is sickening.
Where is Watson going? He's under contract for a long time. I wouldn't worry at all about that one.

Why did you post a gif of an Italian person?How many Cherokee Indians ?
Lol some people don’t listen, making it hard for problems to get resolved.K. Find a problem with everything. It’s the way of the world now.
This has been talked about for years and in college for Head Coaches it's bad too. Honestly it's a tragedy. Back in the day it was hard for an African American to get the QB job but this has changed tremendously. The only answer is it's racism and hopefully will change as the QB position has changed some in a favorable way. Thanks for bringing this up. I can only do my small part ( since I'm not a super rich person ) and not be racist and love people no matter what color the color of their skin!!! WDE!
amen BrotherMy background is Asian (Vietnamese). I came to America with my brother and sister during the Vietnam war. I never understood this mindset of hiring an individual based on race instead of merit. I have always avoided these types of men that use the language "my people" or " as a black man" or "as a asian man." I had many friends (mainly minorities) growing up in Alabama tell me this country would keep me down because I "looked different." I quickly found that those friends only saw race instead of taking accountability for themselves. I didnt start speaking English until I arrived here at age 13. I now have my own business and employees from various backgrounds but not once, did I ever hire anyone with ethnicity being a determinate. The fact that this is a narrative that seems to dominate the headlines in this country still disappoints me. Some people may look at me and see an asian man, but I have always referred to myself as a American and I'm so grateful and proud to be one. Any individual that plays football for a school or professionally that thinks they cant relate to their coach because he doesn't look like them has their self-worth and life priorities built from the wrong foundation.
Only answer is its Racism? YGTBFKM. Maybe they are not qualified, or sucked in previous position, which is why they were fired. People that blame everything on racism, is part of the problem, IMO. AA have more advantages than any other race within the United States. If 2 candidates are identical in experience, educations, resumes, interviews, the AA will get the job 9 out of 10 times.
Robert Saleh is Muslim, so that's something.

I’m not sure myself. I’m in wait and see mode. I’m guessing we try to make some moves in the off-season toward a full rebuildSpeaking of Campbell, can someone tell me how I'm supposed to feel about this:
At times, it does indeed.Wtf. This world sucks man.
Maybe not. Maybe they did just fine and the other guy knocked it outa the park?They were interviewed ... sounds to me like they should've done a better job interviewing ?
The people doing the hiring are very successful, highly competitive people in an uber-competitive industry, playing for huge stakes.
You thought correctly.I thought Muslim was a religion. I didn't know it was a skin color or race.
It really is bizarre how the league has been majority African American for so long yet it’s still so hard for them to get an HC job.
The % of the population hot takes mocking this conundrum are lazy.
I wonder if in Eric Bieniemy’s case his lack of options is due to his issues with law and investigations at Colorado.
Black, white, or whatever, almost nobody wins in the NFL for long. Those who do are more the result of a great QB than their own abilities as coaches. The NFL is highly competitive.I'm going to say something controversial. You want more black head coaches hired? Well maybe the ones that do get hired start winning somewhere.
Let's point out that one of the defenses of not hiring black coaches is that they do not call plays. The Eagles just hired a guy who has NEVER called plays in the NFL.
There is always a reason given, and it is never satisfying. It's racism. Straight up.
Like I said. Always a reason. Never a good one
Freddie Kitchens has been a NFL head coach. Maybe the people making the decisions for some of these teams are idiots.
FTR, I’d hire Eric Bienemy immediately. Also think Anthony Lynn needs another shot.
