Shame on college football for lack of black coaches

Colleges around the country wrapped up their football signing classes this week, proudly touting scores of African-American athletes as the next big stars.

It's a whole different situation on the sideline.

Segregation still rules the coaching ranks. And not just the top guys.

A review of all 130 Football Bowl Subdivision schools found shockingly low numbers, with blacks still largely shut out of head coaching positions and, to an even greater degree, the prime coordinator spots.

While the NFL has come under fire for its lack of minority coaches, the situation appears more dire at the college level.
