Sports Illustrated's Albert Breer reports there's a "very real" fear in NFL coaching circles and the league office that there won't be a single new black head coach in 2022.

With Jacksonville hiring former Eagles head coach Doug Pederson on Thursday, all six head coaching vacancies have been filled with white candidates. Unless the Texans, Dolphins, or Saints hire a black head coach, the league will head into the 2022 season with a single black head coach, Mike Tomlin in Pittsburgh. It would be a public relations nightmare following former Miami head coach Brian Flores' lawsuit alleging racism in team hiring practices -- allegations teams have denied. “The key word is frustration, and this has been mounting frustration over the years,” Fritz Pollard Alliance executive director and former Cardinals general manager Rod Graves told Breer. “Last year, given the opportunities that were out there, there was only one head-coach hire and that was David Culley. … Then, of course, you get a slate this year of just outstanding coaches who are eligible to rise up and fill one of the nine positions that were available, and to date, we don’t have one. And I don’t know, for all the work that these guys have put into it. All I hear from them is frustration and voicing unfairness.” Flores, reportedly a finalist for the Houston head coaching job, could be a long shot as he digs in against the NFL and its systemic issues.

They act like this is a bad thing.

Mike Wilbon (angry black race-obsessed loon) on ESPN used this story the other day as evidence that we’re headed toward a civil war.

Well, Flores sure won’t get hired by anyone now. I actually think that Byron Leftwich could be a good HC. Mediocre QBs often are.

Anybody who buys into using “systemic” language should be ignored.

How much of his success was due to Tom Brady. From what I remember reading, last year the Bucs didn’t do well until Tom Brady took over calling the plays.

There’s an easy way to solve this problem: disband the NFL.

No more worries, no more fears.

Maybe the NFL should interview candidates from Folsom and/or Sing Sing...

NFL needs coaches who speak the same language as 66% of its players...

Maybe there aren’t any this year that can cut the mustard.

I thought that the goal was to have a winning team.

If a black coach can get that done, great. If not...then get someone who will.

Probably won’t be a single new white No.1 wide receiver either.
