There's no excuse for teams to pass on black coaches

The ratio will never match the general population, the NFL statistical population or a simplified racial demographic. The NFL is a business. The owners don't give a damn about the color, ethnicity, height or whether the potential coach has long hair or is bald. The owners care about revenue. They care about who watches their games in the stands and on TV. The number of people watching their games is based on wins. The owners will hire a black bald woman with tatoos if she can consistantly win 10-12 games a year and get a few wins in the playoffs. All of the fuss about this is foolishness. If you want more coaches of a different racial mix than currently in the NFL, buy yourself a team and hire whomever you wish based on a criteria other than winning football games. It's not that complex, folks.
