The US population of Black Males is roughly 7% and the there are currently 3 black coaches in the NFL or 9%. If you include assistant coaches, this percentage is around 45%. If you ask me, based on the US ethnic population breakdown, White Men are underrepresented when you look at all of the coaches in the NFL.

Owners can hire whoever they want
You think the jets are happy with their hire after only one year

Let’s be real here…

1) How many blacks are in the Top 32 in the USA in skill and innovative thinking in well paying industries that have nothing to do with athletic ability, subjectivity, and have a hard, objective bottom line in which incompetence is exposed and eliminated?

2) In the NFL and major college, how many black coaches truly have been the brains behind successful teams from an X’s and O’s standpoint? Even Tony Dungy had Peyton Manning, who did whatever the frick he wanted.

The majority of the NFL players may be black, but most of them are there because they are more physically gifted than 99.99% of the world. It has little to do with outthinking people, which is what coaching is about. Frankly, there are probably more black coaches (including assistants) than there probably would be if teams didn’t have to worry about majority black rosters questioning why staffs are entirely white. Even in the ultra competitive NFL, there are quotas to fill to some degree. But the more complex coaching at the coordinator positions, especially on offense, are usually white guys who are generally just better in those roles.

If you're a black coach with an interview in the NFL, do you think to yourself, "is this a Rooney Rule deal or are they actually interested?" every time you get a call? I just feel like these forced interviews don't really benefit anyone.


Exactly. Its really is an insult to essentially imply “you couldn’t get here on merit alone, so we had to make them”

The Rooney Rule is a virtue signaling band-aid at best and it's impact on getting minorities hired in the NFL is certainly debatable.


Great, then let's get rid of it. It's codified racism AND it's useless, no sense in keeping it around
