I asked a simple question because he said there isn't enough black coaches in the league. So I asked what the appropriate amount of coaches he feels is needed. I didn't say anything about significant I believe so I'm not sure where that came from. Do I believe there's racism. Sure. It's everywhere and it will never go away as long as people are different from one another because human beings are imperfect. Do I believe racism significant in this day of age. I don't believe that it is significant in the civilized world. I believe any significant racism is confined to a small hick town somewhere in Mississippi who now live on the fringes of society. I can get behind there being black owners in the league. I'm happy to support that and wish one of the 7 black billionaires would take the initiative in buying the Broncos maybe part of a collective minority group. I'm also happy to support more black GM's and coaches but I want that decision to be based on whether they actually earn that position over the others they are going against and not just by the color of their skin. If there's is any actual evidence that someone was not hired based on the color of the skin then I will be in full support of getting that owner the **** out of here. However, i'm not in full support of claiming racism just because there aren't what people feel to be enough black coaches in the league.

In defense here, people here use the excuse how did this (insert white man) get a head coaching job over (insert black coordinator who's been in the league many years coaching). It happens both ways. I'm sure Brian Flores got the job in Miami over many seemingly more qualified candidates he went against.

Well to assume that its based on race is to assume that there needs to be quota of black coaches in the league and the quota of black coaches are actually more qualified/deserving than the white coaches that are in their place. Who knows if that's true or not? But to jump to race just because the equality of the outcome is not what you want is stupid.

Yeah I think that's crazy. If you want to it to be aligned with the population of the country then the answer should be 4. I don't think it should be aligned with the league because it's not like its a requirement for you to play in the league to become a coach. I disagree with any quota though as once again I believe putting emphasis on skin color is stupid.
