While we are all "patiently" waiting for the draft and the upcoming season, I thought I would bring this up. If/ when the defending AFC Champions go back to the playoffs and continue to flourish as.
african american, talks about the lack of position as it relates to defensive coordinators, offensive coordinators, quarterback coaches, et cetera, and so this is really and gives a historical foundation with officiating, in regards to art shell in 1989, the first african american, and when you look at issues of proof, the numbers seem to really suggest that there s a problem here. it also speaks to the issue of the rooney rule which was enacted in the last 20 years to ensure at least head coaches were being interviewed by teams and requiring that and talking about mr. brian flores, with respect to him, it was a sham. so i think with regard to the allegations, although they are just that now, boy, do the numbers tell a real story that is compelling and speaks to the need to overhaul the nfl. last point, and that s this, i think when you get to the court of law before you seen get there, there will be
kaepernick, in support of kaepernick, in support of social justice issues. but really dr. dre is mr. nwa. they set the country on fire with f the police. it will be really interesting to see how this plays out. c.j.? yeah. you know, dr. dre is not dr. king. something needs to change. and i think it s focusing on the performers, instead we need to focus on what the nfl is doing. i don t watch much anymore since they decided not to give colin kaepernick a job. and the bills are no longer in the postseason. the real problem is, again, the nfl s hiring. they don t have enough black offensive coordinators, defensive coordinators. they need to improve the pipeline, change their hiring practices. and they need to give people
rooney rule was instituted, we did see an uptick of black coaches and black head coaches and i think we topped out at six or seven. that s really a good clip in the entirety of the history of the nfl, but in the history of the rooney rule, we have had 129 open head coaching positions and 15 of them have been filled by black head coaches or head coaches of color. so, i think that that tells you it s an 11% to 12% clip there, and that s not indicative of who is playing, who is watching, and where the expertise supposedly is, and that s really a huge difference here. i want to bring up some of these stats that i have because we do know most head coaches are obviously recruited from, come from, coordinator positions, if you re looking at offensive coordinators, you have four african american offensive coordinators, defensive coordinators, there are 11, special team coordinators, 3,
is a serious allegation that brian flores, this is really going to come down to brian flores as stephen ross, because the league as we know i live in boston now, when there are any competitive issues, any issues of cheating or scandal, the league comes down with a hammer. you know, the patriots have dealt with deflate gate over air pressure in footballs. it was the most expensive investigation in nfl history when they thought the patriots were stealing signals from opposing defensive coordinators. they came out with a loss of draft picks and heavy fines. so if an owner, supposed to be held to a different standard, if an owner encourages a head coach to lose games and incentivizes it with $100,000 per loss, that s a very serious allegation that should at the very least get that owner spnlded for a year. mike, i hear what you re saying about oligarchs, and that s the problem with the league. i think the problem is that
