Four black coaches were fired Sunday or Monday, including the Jets Todd Bowles, who was let go shortly after his teams final loss Sunday. The Jets had a 14-34 record in the last three seasons under Bowles.
Marvin Lewis, who had been at the helm of the Cincinnati Bengals since 2003, was fired Monday. Though he had resurrected the moribund Bengals and took them to the playoffs multiple times, he never won a playoff game and this season was Cincinnatis third consecutive one with a losing record.
Also fired Monday was Denver Broncos Coach Vance Joseph, who had presided over the first back-to-back losing seasons for the Broncos since the early 1970s. In Arizona, Steve Wilks had been the Cardinals coach for just one season when he was fired Monday after his team compiled a league-worst record of 3-13.

Wakanda?
Meet reality, Rwanda.
Or Uganda.
I can’t tell if you are joking, but I certainly was.
Africa is a shithole.
I actually know a guy from Rwanda. I believe he likes the US a little better.
Agree. However, I didn’t know what the color of these coaches was and couldn’t care less. I’m interested in having good coaches all around the league.
I just watched my first nearly full football game in nearly two years. I’m sick and tired of bad coaching by the Redskins and the totally incompetent, cowardly leader, Goodell, of the NFL.
Wake me when Colin Kraperhead isn’t the de facto leader of the NFL and club owners tell their disgruntled employees (aka players) “You broke your contact. Just call me Donald - you’re fired”.
We have “Fake news”. “Fake raciscm”. “Really bad coaches”.
And that’s the truth!
I just wish the Lions fired Matt Patricia.
If he's like my friends from Nigeria, he probably won't have a high opinion of American blacks.
Why did they hire these fools in the first place?
AA: which is unquestionable.
He doesn’t particularly. Most of his friends are White or Asian. Not too many Black people in Hawaii though.
I had a T.A. at UF that was from Cameroon. I asked him if he was going back after he got his PhD. After laughing for a solid minute, he looked at me and said no.
No it’s fact. The Bell Curve was never debunked on substance only shouts of racism. The top 10% of blacks are way smarter than the top 10% of whites, but the rest of the curve is below the curve for whites. Unless you have statistical data that refutes this, you’re just parroting non-scientific SJW propaganda. This is no different than blacks being more subject to sickle-cell enemia or many other race associated medical phenomena. There are genetic differences between the populations and intellect is not exempt. This doesn’t mean we hate blacks or think they are inferior. You don’t know who you’re talking to, where they are on the intellectual curve or even where you are on the intellectual curve when you talking to a black person. So for any given encounter we treat people with respect. But when talking about populations there are facts, and stating them is not racist.
NYT counting the acceptable level of Blackness.
So how many Blacks on the NYT BOD?
That's 14 coaches on 13 teams... just about half of the entire NFL... all booted in the last 400 days.
During/after 2017:
NYG (Week 13): Ben McAdoo (was 2-10 in 2017)
DET: Jim Caldwell (BLACK!!!! 9-7 in 2017)
ARIZ: Bruce Arians retires (8-8 in 2017)
CHI: John Fox (5-11 in 2017, 14-34 in CHI)
OAK: Jack DelRio (6-10)
IND: Chuck Pagano (4-12)
During/after 2018:
CLE: Hue Jackson (BLACK!!! fired mid-season, 3-36-1 in CLE overall)
GB: Mike McCarthy (fired mid-season at 4-7-1)
MIA:Adam Gase (7-9)
TB: Dirk Koetter (5-11)
NYJ: Todd Bowles (BLACK!! 4-12)
DEN: Vance Joseph (BLACK!!! 11-21 in 2-yr career)
CIN: Marvin Lewis (BLACK!!! Long overdue, 6-10 in 2018, 0-7 in playoffs)
ARIZ: Steve Wilks (BLACK!!! A rare first-year firing, NFL worst 3-13)
The only coach to be fired in that period while holding a winning record was black... Jim Caldwell in Detroit.
Read the data - based Bell Curve. It is true...not racist. Facts bother/annoy race-baiters.
IQ averaging is irrelevant in practically every occupational scenario — the individual’s IQ isn’t necessarily limited to his affiliated demographic average.
But NYT is arguing for an expected coaching ratio that’s not founded on facts.
Without outside consultation, NYT is incapable of expressing factual data. NYT totally #’d the 2018 election predictions due to inherent incompetency. And that’s a fact.
Tony Dungy: 139-69, plus 9-10 in the playoffs. (1 Super Bowl win)

Those that win, stick around. Those that don't... don't. Race has nothing to do with it. Winning does.
In the last 10 years, has any assistant coach under Bill Belichick ever become a successful head coach after leaving New England?
I can't think of any.
Read “The Bell Curve”.
Yup and hes whiter than snow and gave them a lot of good coaching years.
Well, that explains it all - he shouldnt be wasting time on cosmetology school and taking $9/hour jobs in the middle of the season. :)
Tony Dungy and Mike Tomlin both had Hall of Fame quarterbacks who stayed healthy.
Green made the Playoffs eight times with seven different starting QBs.
The Bell Curve is red meat for idiots. It’s a stupid game to play. And I say that as derelict on the far right side of that stupid curve.
