Yeah, what does Tony Dungy know about the institutional racism of the NFL and its resulting hiring practices?

Oh, right.

The guy that had 2 different head coaching jobs in the NFL?

Yeah makes sense.

The only reason Tony Dungy is even recognized at the grocery store is because Peyton Manning made him look like the greatest offensive mind in football for a decade or so. Dungy got canned quick in Tampa where there was no on-the-field coach.

The idea that owners aren't hiring head coaches just bc they're black is absurd. They have no problem hiring black football players and paying them millions of dollars if they're the best player for the job.

The reason no black coaches are hired is bc the league is going offensive and most offensive coordinators are white. Why? Bc almost all offensive coordinators we're either QB's or olinemen bc that's who has to understand the whole offense. And those are the positions, at least 20 years ago, that were the whitest in the league. RB's and WR's don't need to understand the whole schematic of the offense nearly as well to do their job. Also, white players generally have to have a better understanding of schemes to compensate for less athleticism. I bet in 20 years you'll see the RG3's and Russell Wilson's and Mcnabbs of the world get coaching jobs if they want
