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.

Honestly, I think it's kind of dumb how this discussion is even talked about bythe media. Where are all the Hispanic coaches? What about Asian? And does everyone think that these guys' coaching ability has anything to do with the color of their skin? Did Tony Dungy coach his team to a super bowl because he was black or in spite of being black? Is a team going to hire a black coach now because they think "If I hire a black guy, he'll take me to a super bowl." If we want to be truly color blind and all that, we shouldn't even be talking about this.

Only if there are other black coaches out there who interview for jobs and beat out the competition.
The best man is going to get the job in football (unless it's the Raiders, but that's something else entirely). It doesn't matter about skin color, the goal is to win. Owners will hire the man who will do the best job towards winning. It's all about the "W". that;s how it should be, that is how it is.

seriously i wish the world didn't have to look at things like this- like wow an African American did something worth while.
They do everyday, and so do many other races.
i think we should stop keeping track like that...
just give credit where credit is do.. why sit there and say he is a good "black" coach.
When honestly he's just a good deamn coach, color or not!

Probably so but it might not be too significant.
