Pretty cool stat...but I think Someone on Mike and Mike said it best a few years ago. "We're making progress, when its not a big deal". Like other people said (albeit while complaining) it would be great to have Hispanic coaches, and Russian coaches, but the fact is that those cultures don't play football. If you look at the NFL, its 55% black, 40% white, and like 5% every other race, so its only natural that there would really only be black and white coaches...this wouldn't even be an issue if there weren't racist owners back in the day that wouldn't give these guys a chance...I just hope that sometime soon.. this really won''t be a story.

Who cares. Why is this media driven monster getting out of control? The focus should be on the game, not the skin color of the head coaches. Would it be on them if they were Hispanic, Chinese, Catholic, or Homosexual? I am not making any judgement, just wondering.
Lovie Smith is the head coach of my favorite team, an he just happens to be black. If he was red with purple spots, I wouldn't care. It is still all about at TEAM working towards a FOOTBALL GAME. That is it in a nutshell.

Yes. The media does have a problem stating how significant it is, they seem to want to make it controversial and not historic. The coaches have put it in perspective by mentioning Doug Williams and other groundbreakers and not themselves.

Well Lovie Smith is black. And I'm pretty sure Tony Dungy is black.
