Yes … no where did I say he was turned down by black coaches or did I make any connections to either of them and my statements about black coaches. Your taking two separate points that I made and are combining them to fit your narrative.
With that said after re-reading my posts I guess I can see where you may have mistaken my points. (I also had a mis-type that I corrected) So …I’ll take the blame here. I could have been more clear. So I will clarify.
Point 1 - MP and Rhule both are first time HC’s and they filled their coaching staffs with coordinators and coaches with no prior NFL experience. Personally I think this is foolish and a recipe for disaster. (My opinion)
In MP’s case he only had ties to NE and it’s a no no to pick from that cookie Jar.
In Rhules case he has few connections in the NFL so he’s in a difficult position to recruit qualified coordinators. Rhule lost out on the Jets job last year because of this. The Jets wanted him if he could bring in a more experienced staff and he couldn’t.
Point 2 - (This is why I separated the two in my very first post. They are separate points) The NFL has a real problem. That problem is that there are few African American HC’s and coordinators in the NFL. As a result more and more quality black coaches are leaving the NFL in favor of college jobs. The college ranks are filled with black coaches yet the NFL has few and it’s getting fewer. I added a twitter post to support this statement. It’s not an opinion. This is fact. The NFL knows they have this problem. That’s why the Rooney rule exists. It’s also why the league applied pressure in 2018 to teams in search of a new HC. Here’s proof.
Point 3 - it was tied into point 2. A GM would be wise to hire a well respected black HC who could convince other black coaches to join his staff by proving to them that opportunities do exist inside the organization. (This is not a racist statement and I am greatly offended you tried to turn it into one) If you read racism here than your reading something that is not there in any shape or form.
Lastly - I did not say MP or Rhule we’re having difficulty hiring black coaches. No where did I say that either.
With this clarification I’m going to bow out from this discussion. Please do not try to put words or thoughts (especially of racism) in my posts.
