Coaching Carousel 2026

Because they want minority coaches to be hired, as long as it's not on their team. For their team, they just want the best candidate for the job.

There’s a term for that… one I’ve stated many times in this discussion, and it’s a term I don’t use often because I usually cringe at these types of discussions

I think it's okay to hold two things at once, though.

I think it's okay to...

1. Be really excited for Minter and Doyle and think they will both be great for the Ravens
2. Wonder why a sport that is 53% African American with other minority groups sprinkled in sees probably 75%+ of all coaches be white.

I don't follow the NFL as a whole nearly as closely as I used to when I was younger, so I only really know about the Ravens. There's a chance there weren't great minority coaches available this cycle outside of Salah. I really don't know.

But it's okay to say that while there weren't great minority coaches this time, it would be great to see the NFL have more representation amongst its coaches across all levels of coaching.

Sure, it would be great to see, but if we don’t see it because there simply aren’t enough qualified candidates, well there aren’t many things I can think of that I would care less about. And it’s wild to me that there’s a large group of people that really do make a big deal about it.

It’s pretty clear by now that black men as a whole are superior athletes, big generalization but cmon, we use our eyes to watch sports and it’s obvious. these guys are playing on college and pro teams while the white guys often recognize they aren’t built like that and go into coaching right after their high school sports careers are over.

Never thought the day would come. Up until that AFCCG vs the chiefs I was one of the most rabid ravens fans on earth. Ain’t been the same since.

This is why I haven't been hard pressed to move the conversation or cut it off. Nothing is happening until the combine and even that's kinda meh. Free agency is the real first exciting piece of the offseason.

Yeah this is good content to keep the boards alive I mean ffs I opened it up with more replies at once than I’ve ever seen

Normally I'd agree, and it is on-topic due to the coaching carousel component. I think the problem is that if people don't want to sift through those messages because they don't care, it gets annoying to sift through it. Just my two cents.

If they don’t wanna sift through pages, they could sift through deez nuts.

Sorry. Couldn’t help it.

bemoaning the lack of options and the poor structural pipeline is different to begging for minority candidates to be hired just because
there's clearly a lack of exciting minority candidates who fit the archetype of what the NFL wants to hire

all im saying is that that structural problem should be fixed and that it's a shame that the league has so few minority HCs

doesn't mean i want e.g. Vance Joseph to be a HC just because he's a minority just so the number is higher

I mean what is the structural problem and what even needs to be fixed? The structural problem is that there just aren’t enough horses in the race, and that’s not the leagues fault.

That’s where I have an issue, the idea that it’s even a “problem”. It’s more of an inconvenient truth than anything.

Everyone should be evaluated based on their ability to perform the job.

Nothing more. Regardless of race, religion, or gender.
Within the realm of what's normal for a fully developed person, of course (I'm not going to put Epstein in charge of a youth team, to give a crude example).

I know that reality isn't like that, and they still have to fight against that exclusion, but it should change, of course, in an ideal world, not in the current one.

P.S. Unfortunately, someone imposed the concept of Argentina as racist and full of Nazis and blah blah blah, even though the USA had more Nazis (paperclip). I don't believe that. There are good people and bad people, like everywhere else

The miss didn't shock me 1 bit. Before the drive started I told my boy were losing if we don't get a TD or incredibly close.

I almost post the text convo night of and just left it alone

I had zero doubts he was gonna miss that shit. My wife was in shambles thinking the Steelers just lost and I said nah he’s gonna miss.

on a purely numbers basis
it suggests that there's a bottleneck further downstream

a lack of opportunity somewhere that is reducing the amount of talent available

maybe it's more of a CFB issue, but the NFL should be invested in trying to remove whatever the barrier to entry is that's restricting people from that coaching pathway
