NFL Coaching Positions

On the last day of the season, there were 7 Black coaches in the NFL. The following day that dropped to 5 when Denny Green and Art Shell were fired. Strange that out of the remaining 5, 2 of them are taking their teams to the Superbowl!

Since then, there's been one more Black coach hired - 6 out of 32 teams. Most of those teams looking for a coach were interviewing a single Black only because NFL rules require it. One person who I think would be an excellent head coach hasn't even been granted an interview by anyone - Mike Singletary, who is currently the Defensive Coordinator for the 49er's.

Maybe one day the teams will actually start hiring the best candidates regardless of color instead of recycling the same coaches from team to team. No one seems willing to hire someone who hasn't had head coaching experience, unless they are from a Superbowl winning team - and we all saw how that worked out for the Bears when they hired Dave Wannstedt from the Cowboys! Talk about SUCK!!
