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.
