The Fritz Pollard Alliance released a statement Friday expressing its disappointment in the lack of minority NFL head coaches following the firings of ex-Miami Dolphins head coach Brian Flores and former Houston Texans head coach David Culley.
“The recent dismissals of Brian Flores and David Culley is a disappointment given efforts to increase the representation of Black coaches as head coaches in the NFL,” Fritz Pollard Alliance executive director Rod Graves said (h/t Mike Florio of Pro Football Talk).
"The fact that we stand today with only one Black head coach makes clear that the current system does not provide a sustainable pathway for the growth in numbers of minorities as head coaches.
