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

Outside of Curtis Johnson before he left for Tulane I can't think of any black offensive coaches

That's my hypothesis as well
Positions that were dominated by whites years ago and still to this day are the positions that produce coaches
Why is no one bitching about the # of white QBs in the league? There are still only a handful of black starting QBs
Vick
Newton
RG3
Wilson
Vick isn't really guaranteed a starting spot next year either
