Does the NFL have a head coaching race problem, or a stupid owner problem?

Seriously, Carolina hiring Reich... who just bombed out in Indy...

I don't know if Wilks did enough to get the interim tag taken off of him. It seems to me like winning 6 games with that group of players was pretty amazing.

Problem is, there is no penalty when an owner is just an idiot.

Stupid owner problems, especially in Carolina.

David Tepper has been an embarrassment. Unfortunately, the type of folks who can afford these teams are not willing to give up control on major decisions, just like Jerry, Snyder, etc.

He has made a myriad of mistakes both with football related matters and also the business side.

The cycle has already passed several deserving coordinators by

Now Demeco Ryans is the hot name and should get a chance

What a stupid arse question

Billionaire owners care about race when running their business. Said no billionaire ever. If the owner thought a black man can make money for his business he's going to let them do it because I can promise you regardless if an owner is racist or not, he likes money above anything else.

You answered your own question. Stupid owners. Only 2 teams can make the SB every year.

I wouldn't call 40-33 record in the NFL "bombed out", especially after the franchise QB retired after the first season.

reich had a winning record in indy. he was the scape goat not the problem.

Carolina went 7-10 in a shitbag division. If wilks kept his mouth shut and just took another assistant job for a bit he probably wouldve gotten another look in a year or two. Now noone will touch him.

The bottleneck is minority assistants being elevated to coordinator positions. Once someone is a coordinator they tend to get hired if their units produce at a high level.

Are you implying there should be?

You want private business owners punished for having shitty management?

How is that supposed to even work?

I could be wrong but I don’t think the “racist” argument is that owners know the black candidates are better and just choose the white ones because they are racist, I believe the argument is that they believe the white candidates are better than the black candidates because they are racist. I think both of the potential perspectives are stupid, but just wanted to clarify that.

Sure there is. The penalty is that your team sucks. That should be the end of it.

Why hire a minority knowing that you will be flamed or sued for firing him no matter how bad he is.

Someone else said it, the lawsuit is bad for minority coaches wanting gigs.

10-6
7-9
11-5
9-8
3-5-1

That’s not bombing out, especially given his QB situation there

If I own something, I can do what I damn well please. Especially if I am a multimillionaire. Right, wrong or indifferent. Stupid or smart

Trying to force someone to hire someone based on the color of their skin is retarded and racist.
