Minority Coaches Overlooked in the NFL

At the end of the 2019 NFL season, there were five coaches fired. Of those five open positions, only one was filled by a minority coach. The lone minority hire was Ron Rivera, who is a retread fired from the Carolina Panthers job the same week.

Whenever the subject comes up there’s an outcry for minority hires. This season the most commonly mentioned coach being overlooked is Kansas City Chiefs Offensive Coordinator, Eric Bieniemy. Qualified as he may be to be a head coach, are there others that deserve serious consideration? Yes.
