Too many NFL head coaches are white

It’s not what they think at all. Yes, the top guys make money, but the rest of them make less than average and have to work much harder. It’s long hours and little pay coming up the coaching ranks. It’s never glamorous unless you win.

Also, just think about the skill set. A lot of it is structure and format and sets, reps and drills. A coach has to be incredibly organized in addition to being a motivator and psychologist and a whole bunch of other things. It’s very demanding. Coaches really are generals.

The racial angle. NASCAR is pulling this now, too, where there new driver program is for anyone but whites. The forced diversification of everything. It’s impossible not to notice that no one ever says a sport is too black, but they will say that an area, a sector, a vocation, a sport or anything else is too white and that needs to be fixed. Just that mindset is a severe problematic idea.

What I was getting at above is just that coaching is a really, really, really tough job. It’s not like playing Madden. Bitboy said that Bill Parcells coaching tree in terms of coaches produced stands alone and that is confirmed by the article above.

Another point is that coach is not like a token or quota position. I guess it can be but there is something about the top coaches that really chase some kind of greatness as they perceive it where they become beyond OCD about it. Jim Harbaugh once said he would adopt any kid that was abandoned by one of his players. One tragic story is the one about a very fine football coach, a black man named Tony Dungee. Fine human being in every way, but so into his coaching job and somehow, his son committed suicide. Top coaches put their work over everything and same with top CEOs.

All I was saying was that there is a price to pay for being a top coach and these quotas and tokens should be careful what they wish for. To be the best, one must adopt a No Days Off model for years and years. I used to be into sports and regret it. If one is just a spectator, I really think it is a waste of time and money, but I read tons of sports stories at one time.

I remember that movie Any Given Sunday where Al Pacino’s coach character was so into his job that is cost his marriage, family, and health. He lived for Sundays. There was also a pretty good movie called The Program with James Caan and I liked that one because it showed all the issues, like, in his case, he’d have to cover up the mistakes and sometimes, felonies that his players committed and all people go through those things, but it’s different when a sport commands such power and corruption that there is inequitable judgments. Both movies dealt with substance abuse like steroids and painkillers.

All I was trying to say is that tokens and quotas may not be mentally and spiritually prepared for the price to be paid and the toll that the career takes on a person. It is unfortunate that they want to dole out these coaching positions based on race when so many guys have sacrificed everything in an attempt to be leaders of men. Clearly, the tokens and quotas will not have to face the same adversity.
