During a recent video press conference, San Francisco 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan spoke about racism and other surrounding issues plaguing our nation. In that same presser, he mentioned the lack of black head coaches and general managers in a league with predominantly black players.
The lack of representation of black head coaches in the NFL points to a somewhat systemic problem because it’s not due to a lack of talent in the coaching pool.
