I think the problem in the NFL is that there really aren't a whole lot of black assistants to hire as head coaches right now.

Which speaks to the overall problem that racist practices aren't restricted to just the highest profile jobs.

I guess I agree - when you look at the black guys who do make it to assistant positions, they seem to get hired (Romeo, Lovie, and Tomlin just recently). So it's getting their foot into the door and actually getting the chance to prove themselves as assistants.

Or perhaps only the best black talent gets hired to be assistants? Who knows what's going on.
