Many players desire to coach for their post-playing careers. Others desire to work their way into management-level positions at one of the NFL’s 32 Teams. Unfortunately, for Black individuals, that is easier said than done.
Only 1 of the NFL’s 32 teams (3%) employs a Black Head
Coach;
Only 4 of the NFL’s 32 teams (12%) employ a Black
Offensive Coordinator;
Only 11 of the NFL’s 32 teams (34%) employ a Black
Defensive Coordinator;

Only 8 of the NFL’s 32 teams (25%) employ a Black
Special Teams Coordinator;
Only 3 of the NFL’s 32 teams (9%) employ a Black
Quarterback Coach; and
Only 6 of the NFL’s 32 teams (19%) employ a Black
General Manager.
According to the 2020 census 13% of the US population was African American. Outside of Head Coach they seem well represented; however, they were at 9% last year and there's a good chance they'll be there or higher again this year. What percentage would you deem acceptable?
The percentage of NFL players who are of color should have 0 bearing; as we see time and again it being a good player does not correlate to coaching success.
If anyone allows color to motivate them to hire a lesser candidate they most likely won't be very successful.
Do we care about the Hispanics?
