Correct. A head coach in the NFL is a CEO/leader. They’re not an Xs or Os person. Even the ones that are at first (McVay, Pederson, etc) and come out as the latest whiz bang guy eventually plateau and are out-schemed by the next guy.
Those that persist, the Tomlins, the Harbaughs are the ones that lead - not serve as tacticians.
I have a pretty low opinion of NFL owners (Mike Brown, Jerry Jones, Daniel Snyder, and most of the rest). But even I don't think any of them would go onto Sports Center and admit they don't want to hire Black coaches. So, IF there is a problem in the NFL, how do you think it would manifest itself? What could we look at and think "hmm, that might be a sign of racism and we should look closer"?

Why is there a problem in the NFL? Why do you so badly want there to be one?
Todd Bowles doesn’t think there’s a problem. Why do you?
George Halas’ coaching career started and ended at the head coach level. He was also a Navy Captain. He had leadership skills.
I assume you didn't mean that literally, but just in case... Irsay is a teetotaler, a recovering abuser who is active anonymously in the substance abuse prevention/treatment community.
I guess you could just kick his ass if you meet up in person. He’s a keyboard warrior, not an actual warrior. However, you could kill him so probably best to not take him seriously and have a little fun with him here every now and then.
I'm really disappointed in @DANC @Crayfish57 and @others .. This was quality 2nd date material right here! Step up with the likes, laughs and comments men!
IF there is a problem I think it is the numbers. There have been 3 Black head coaches for 4 straight years. Doesn't that number seem low? That is under 10%. As we discuss, players become coaches. Since the NFL has a lot of Black players, should not their coaching numbers be over 10%
And there may not be a problem. Hence my question. Is there a number of coaches, is there any metric, that would make you believe there is a problem.
I have never hidden the fact I grew up in a very racist area. I know very well the trope that Blacks are athletic but lack the smarts, heard it all my youth. I do not know if owners subscribe to that, not saying they do. But IF they do, how would we know?

It does seem low - I agree. But we don’t have insight into the real pipeline - we only see what the media shows us. I find solace that the second longest tenured HC is black and very successful. I find Bowles’ comments that only the media focuses on race - the teams don’t - to be very telling.

It’s such an obviously bad reaction to the hiring of a HoF player that forms the basis for why I think it’s really just good ole white liberals deciding that it’s racism that he was hired.
I think there is a lot of B involved.
That said, I think that is true for the crazily overpriced CEOs in America too
I love White liberal they's on the water cooler verbally figthing to the death, just so I know that I am racist, over a football interim coach that I couldn't give two shits about the decision.
White, Urban They's cause self destruction and suicide and use it as a trophy to how much they are helping.
PLEASE STOP HELPING, YOU ARE KILLING US.

Easy, Joe. What's going on with you and Mas-sa tonight. You both are going to blow a gasket.
****ers like him will be held accountable.
Perhaps some type of anti parasitical meds...
Ivermectin maybe
12mg 3 x daily for ten days should do it, so I've heard..
*Standard disclaimer here*
Or, even worse, make him listen to your bullshit for a couple of days straight.
Talk about your war crimes.

That was a few years ago, it is pretty rare.
I don't know, has anyone offered Manning a head coaching gig?

I think the Mannings will own a team someday. Maybe he can name himself coach and the whole internet’s (well half of it anyways) heads will explode.

I think Manning was saying he wanted to be an owner at one point. I would hire Manning as a head coach with no experience though.
He was no @mcmurtry66 .

Here is a different look at the problem, White NCAa athletes complaining they aren't considered "athletic".
www.cbsnews.com
I think we have all heard that story, White players are "heady", Black players are "gifted. IF that happens, does it not mean Blacks are less likely to be thought of for coaching? It is hard to coach someone to run the 4.35 40. Yet if a player is "smart", maybe they can pass that along.

There is an excellent group of young coaches who are tacticians first. McDaniel, McVay, LaFleur, Shanahan, Taylor, O’Connell, Vrabel. Most of them had no or unspectacular playing careers.
@outside shooter I should have banned him permanently. My bad.

Vrabel was an All-Pro linebacker for the Pats.
My point on the tactics is that it doesn’t last. McVay’s time has perhaps already passed based on how bad they are this year. The coaches that last a long time aren’t tacticians - they’re CEOs.
