Fritz Pollard Alliance issues statement on hiring of Chris Doyle

The Fritz Pollard Alliance released a statement earlier today on the Jaguars hiring of Chris Doyle.

The statement, written by the Alliance’s Executive Director Rod Graves, said that Doyle’s hiring is “simply unacceptable”. The full statement comes from Josina Anderson:

The Fritz Pollard Alliance is a non profit organization devoted to “equal opportunity in the industry,” according to their website. Fritz Pollard was the first Black head coach in the NFL, and in 1928 coached the Chicago Black Hawks, an All-African American football team based in Chicago.

Doyle’s history at Iowa is well documented.
