MIAMI – Examine the NFL coaching sidelines and you won’t see a reflection of what’s on the field.
Approximately 70-percent of NFL players are African-American. When it comes to head coaches? It’s the antithesis of what you see from the players who are wearing pads. Out of the 32 NFL teams, there are just three African-American head coaches.
There were five head coaching vacancies this year. The Washington Redskins hired the only minority head coach when they named Ron Rivera, who is Hispanic, the man for their job.
Kansas City Chiefs offensive coordinator Eric Bieniemy had a nine-year NFL playing career.
