The sport’s diversity issues didn’t begin and end with Brian Flores’s lawsuit, but RJ_Writes explains it is time for people to stop looking at Black hires as 'a risk'
It’s an easy answer to a complicated issue, but the powers that be are adding unneeded layers to the process that prevent real change from actually happening.We’re a year and a half removed from a summer in which college athletics departments, like many other corporations in this country, said they cared about its Black athletes and employees. They marched and they listened. They made statements and then they made some actions.
Flores is suing the NFL and three of its teams, saying racist hiring practices by the league have left it racially segregated.Answers to diversity problems in college football are made entirely too difficult by the powers that be when those decision-makers simply have to follow through with making diverse hires in the sport.
You can lead a horse to water, as the adage goes, but head-coaching roles remain white overall because owners in the NFL and college athletic directors simply refuse to drink. The Rooney Rule has not failed in the NFL because it doesn’t have enough incentives or penalties attached to it, yet there are currently only three minority NFL coaches . , nearly half of the Power 5’s 65 schools have never had a Black coach, and even fewer have had a Black athletic director.
This go-around, the “insert” numbers are 29, 2021 and six, including Mario Cristobal in Miami and Timmy Chang in Hawai’i. You can set your watch to roughly that many jobs changing hands in total with an average of 24 jobs opening up per FBS cycle over the past decade. Of the Black coaches who were hired, two of them were hired by Black athletic directors. Of the 14 Black head coaches in FBS’s 130 jobs, six were initially hired by Black ADs.
