I don't find that very strange. Being a HC doesn't give you as much time being a pure football coach, it comes with a heck of administration and other management stuff. Thats usually why a lot of people struggle when they get promoted, both in football and in business. They are good at their craft but not all the other hoopla, that's a skill in itself.

Whoever gets the nod for the job they might want to get their ducks in a row soon.
It's going to be a tough job to get the team sorted out and get down to business.

If it's an inhouse hire those ducks will have been getting into formation over the past month. I know they had a full presence at the Senior bowl this past week with the front office, coaching staff, and scouting department all there en masse.

It’s distilling down to race because Black coaches are saying they want to be head coaches. Black executives are saying they want to be GM’s and Presidents. Black billionaires, the VERY short list of them that exist in this country, are saying they want ownership of teams. The NBA at least has multiple Black coaches and GM’s. I know Jordan owns the Hornets. Again, it’s being distilled down to race because Black people are saying, “Hey, help us out. We want these positions too. We can do more than just the manual labor on the field.” The response should be let’s figure out a way to help these brothers out, not looking for any way to shift the conversation off race and delegitimize the argument in its entirety. Now where I definitely agree is this: these owners can do what they want. If they want their coaching staff to be all White that’s cool. They should be able to do that, and the players have to grow balls and take a stand and say they won’t play for organizations that don’t prioritize putting the demographic that makes the NFL run in positions of power.

False equivalency Rez.

A Billionaire gaining ownership, I don't care what color they are, isn't "helping us out"...

I don't see how you can trivialize the multi-million dollar contracts and endorsements that follow as simply labor on the field.

The response in recent years has in fact done more to elevate people of color into the positions they're qualified for than ever before. The path is there. The makeup is changing. But I get the feeling it's not enough or not happening quickly enough. So what IS the desired outcome?

It's not delegitimizing the argument it's trying to remove the surface level argument of race permeating every facet of our views.

Last interview today (Eric Bieniemy). We should have a new head coach tomorrow. It’ll be Dennis Allen of course.
