NFL now down to one black head coach.

the problem is that it is far more likely that a person with all of those qualities comes from a stable, 2 parent home, which is far more likely with white people.

i do agree that somebody who can reach (motivate) the athletes has a heads up on somebody who is smarter, but that is with all else being equal. I really do not think this is an issue of intelligence as much as it is about things like organization and emotional intelligence, which very much come from environment in so many cases.

All you KKKlowns are tripping over yourselves to sound the most like the people that explained to us why there were almost no black QBs in the 1980's.

Lets have straight meritocracy in every aspect of society...I don't care if the NFL is 100% black, if they're the best, so be it.

And if business, academia etc. is 100% white that's fine as long as it's based on meritocracy. Lets have a color blind society without constant whining from under represented groups.

If we did that the Supreme Court would be 9 white male justices.

And give these clowns the boot...

As long as we have racist like you, who think calling people who kneel for the flag 'N---ers'.....then we will never have a blind meritocracy.

We live in a country built on racims and still full of racists and it's why there were no black QB's in the 1980s. People claimed it wasn't racism then too...that it was a 'meritocracy.'

It's impossible to have meritocracy as long as people making the decisions about who has 'merit' are full of biased decision-makers and outright racists.

You have racism on the brain....It consumes you...

im not from the 80s, but a qb who is actually an athlete on the field is not the same thing as a head coach. this is a really weird argument to make.

and the greatest coach of all time (arguably) was only an average football player, at best, in high school and college.

I'm not the kkklown who thinks it's ok to call black people N---ers and then turns around and posts about a colorblind society.

I mean.......wow.....what an absolute embarrassment of hypocrisy.

One of the worst I've seen on here..and that says a lot!

I mean it's hysterical, really.

Ok...to get you up to speed.

In the 1980's people made all kinds of similar arguments about why there were no black QBs as people in this thread are making about black coaches now. They figured the status quo was the natural state of things, survival of the fittest and all that, and that blacks just didn't have what it takes, or at least not nearly as often as whites did, to be an NFL caliber QB. And that was proven in their minds by the fact that there hardly any black Qbs. Self-fulfilling prophecy in a way.

Warren Moon in 1984 was just the third black QB to start a game in the NFL. In fact, Warren Moon was the first black starting QB for four different teams

Oilers:1984

Minnesota1994:

Sea hawks 1997

Kansas City Chiefs: 2000

Nearly half the league had never had a black QB start a single game before the year 2000. Think about that.

Now that seems ridiculous, but to many people in the 1970s, 1980's and 1990s......they didn't think blacks had what it took to succeed as NFL QBS. Just like people in this thread think it's completely natural and normal that there are almost zero black NFL coaches.

History has shown they were completely wrong and were simply seeing their own biases being confirmed by what they saw represented on the field and figured that's just the way things are.

Circular thinking. "Why no black QBs?"---> "Blacks don't have what it takes to QB in the NFL"--->evidence: " There are no black QBS in the NFL"

The thinking on this thread seems to be: if blacks were good enough to coach we would be seeing more of them in the NFL.....but that's what they were saying about black QBS in the 1980s.

Time has shown them wrong.

a lot of this has to do with the coaches needing to adapt to the kind of skill set that the Michael Vicks and Lamar Jacksons offer. This is even true of white guys like Doug Flutie.

So the people not hiring or drafting or recruiting black QBs were simply just behind the times.

Got it.

Yet what Al Campanis stated on Nightline in 1987 is spewed here today.

Look up the youtube videos on why Al Campanis and Jimmy the Greek were fired.
