2019-12-31 | Only Three N.F.L. Head Coaches Are Black. ‘It’s Embarrassing.’ - The New York Times
'Recently, the main avenue to head coaching jobs in the N.F.L. has been experience guiding an offense, a role in which minorities have been underrepresented. '
'The coaching prospects — young men of color who have shaped offenses at various levels of the sport — also got to network. '
' Among the 32 teams this season, there were two African-American offensive coordinators and 10 defensive coordinators. '
'The Quarterback Summit, organized by the N.F.L. and held for a second straight year, took on a new urgency when the number of minority head coaches and general managers plummeted by half (from eight to four and four to two, respectively) in the 2019 off-season, reversing years of progress. '
'In late June, the sleepiest part of the N.F.L. calendar, several of the sport’s most prominent minority coaches and executives gathered at Morehouse College in Atlanta to try to dispel a persistent football myth: that there are not enough qualified candidates of color for the league’s coveted offensive coaching jobs.

Only 23 percent of NBA players are white. Doesn't the New York Times also find that embarrassing?

WTF is a "minority" coach in a league of mostly black athletes? A Mexican?
