We hear this every cycle. "Hire minority coaches", but then bitching when they are fired, even though the same happens to white coaches. Today a writer tweeted about black coaches not getting a fair shot and included pics of Marvin Lewis and Romeo Crennel. Marv got fifteen years without a playoff win. Fifteen! You cannot find a white coach that ever got that. Romeo Crennel stunk at two stops.
OMG! David Culley only got one year! Joe Judge only got two. For every example of how a black coach got treated there's a similar example otherwise.
I couldn't care less whether the coach is black or white. Flores and Bowles are under consideration, and are good candidates. Lovie was a good coach when in Chicago. But when it was time to go it was time to go. Shit, they're discussing whether Pete Carroll will be let go, and he has been successful by any metric you can use. Can you imagine the outrage if he were black? But we don't hear about that. We hear about Marvin Lewis getting a raw deal.
