"We have a problem with minority hiring, specifically in football," Tomlin said. "But I guess that it's an issue of minority hiring across a lot of industries and lines."

What is next? Incentives to increase "minorities" faces in the stands?

[Extremely Extreme Extremist]

Has his twin Mike Epps weighed in?

[hanamizu]

Is this a push to hire more white players? Make the NFL “look more like America?”

[GnuThere]

Of course he does.
Word has it he’s a huge racist.

[bewildered]

Tomlin is a black racist POS.

I wouldn’t listen to a word he has to say.

[PortugeeJoe]

NFL says that since 12% of Americans are black then 12% of coaches, GMs, etc. should be black. Therefore shouldn’t only 12% of the player be black instead of 70% (or more).

Blithering idiots!!!

[LeoTDB69]

At least it’s merit-based. *sarc*

[jjotto]

The proposal has already been tabled.

There are only around 14 black coaches in the FBS, five of them in the weak PAC-12. Not many of that 14 are all that great. The talent pool is just too small.

The racism is at the university level.

A black female lesbian should get the first 3 picks. afterall shes a lefty trifecta

[Luke21]

The Steelers have done a lot of damage with this nonsense.

[bankwalker]

NFL is circling the bowl. They just laid off almost 70% of NFL Films and a similar amount at NFL Network.

[Bandmeeting]

Then let’s incentivize white running backs.

[Grimmy]

The more I learn about the NFL, the more I realize Belichick isn’t so much a genius, it’s that the rest of them are that stupid.

[crz]

WTF is this asshole talking about? He should take a count of “minorities” playing that game and he would find out that the minority he is talking about is NOT of his heritage.

That is why I do NOT follow professional football like I used to. WAY to many cry babies and whiners.

There will never be real professionals coaching that game any longer-like Lombardi, who was a REAL coach who taught lessons (educated the players) while he was coaching.

And his players LOVED him for it. Not only in Green Bay, but in Washington, the short while he coached there.

Merit. Not the color of one’s skin.

[all the best]

There is an incentive for hiring the best candidate: winning games and making money.

[OKSooner]

One might suggest to Coach Tomlin, that if he’s interested in seeing more black coaches in the NFL he could do well to look out for the professional interests of one guy in particular...

[ridesthemiles]

Would that ‘Incentive’ be called Bribery of Extortion???

[Adder]

So sez the minority hire...
