There are lots of black assistant coaches in the NFL. They just have problems breaking through to the coordinator and head coaching positions.
I like the move they made to change the rule that teams could block assistants from applying for coordinator positions. I think this may lead to more minorities moving up quicker.
I agree, completely diminishes all that that individual has worked for. There have been so many great minority coaches over the years that it’s surprising to me it is still an issue in the first place. Hopefully this will somewhat resolve itself and this won’t end up being a thing. Thankfully for now it’s been tabled for a bit.
