Re: Football Coaches: The Hiring Process
[ QUOTE ]
The importance of interviewing a black coach is for that coach's advancement down the road. When teams are looking to fill a coaching vacancy, they will talk to other executives and coaches around the league to get some input. [/ QUOTE ] This is what I don't understand...white, black, latino, etc coaches all want interviews to help with advancement down the road, so why is it only neccessary for black coaches??? this doesn't make sense...why is there no White Coaches Association? or Mexican Coaches Association? Edit: great post dlk9s

Re: Football Coaches: The Hiring Process

why is there no White Coaches Association? [/ QUOTE ] I'd guess because there's no history of widespread discrimination against white people in this country such that there are almost no white people in certain high profile jobs. If inertia is part of the continuing problem, then you need to do more than "nothing" to remedy it. Norv Turner doesn't need help getting consideration.

Re: Football Coaches: The Hiring Process

why is there no White Coaches Association? [/ QUOTE ] the same reason there is no white history month [ QUOTE ] or Mexican Coaches Association? [/ QUOTE ] the issue here is the alarmingly low number of black coaches in comparison to the number of black players. if hispanics come to represent a significant portion of the league, the same argument will apply.
