Then what is?
WEll, if you don't force it, nothing will really change for minority coaches. College football has a history of not hiring non-white people. Obviously, if it needs to be forced, then there is a problem.
I am not saying there is no racism in the NCAA. It is everywhere. To try and resolve this in the area of hiring coaches, I would start with a pool of applicants. Coaches looking for advancement or change would submit their resumes to the pool, managed by a staff that is not affiliated with the NCAA. Require those Universities that are looking to hire to select applicants by their assigned number, based on how their resume matches the hiring entity's needs. Then they must interview those candidates, not knowing race, gender, creed, or any of the areas listed under Title VII. Many employment agencies function this way and it works to the point of fairness in getting the interview. There are ways other than , "You must interview this minority coach, and that one." Where would you draw the line to be fair to ALL minorities?

Most people who are miseducated only know MLK by his "I Have A Dream" speech and only know the parts where he talks about judging people by the content of their character and not the color of their skin.
For starters, here is just another part of the rest of that speech
Thanks for that info.
You're right, I don't know enough about MLK to take any stand on the subject.

I don't even think you need that. All you gotta do is search programs, mainly candidates in the coordinator positions and bring 'em on in for an interview. It's not that hard.
I don't think black coaches aren't getting interviews because they've failed to submit resumes to athletic departments or because nobody knew they coach football.
