There remains a racial blockade for Black interim coaches. Black coaches can be temporary stewards, but don't seem to be viewed by many owners and general managers as good enough to go beyond that, mikefreemanNFL writes.
Since 2000, there have been 41 interim coaching stints following a firing or resignation. Only 14 times did the interim lead their team to a record of .500 or better and, of those 14 coaches, nine were not retained.
Reich guided the Colts to the playoffs twice and this isn't really about him. He's qualified for the job, but the point is Wilks is, too. This would have been a good time to hire what looks like a talented coach, who took the orbital debris that was left of the pulverized and talent-deprived franchise that traded its best player away in Christian McCaffrey, and take a shot.
"We are shocked and disturbed that after the incredible job coach Wilks did as the interim coach, including bringing the team back into playoff contention and garnering the support of the players and fans, that he was passed over for the Head Coach position by David Tepper," attorneys John Elefterakis and Douglas H. Wigdor, who represent Wilks, said in a statement.
