Four black coaches were fired Sunday or Monday, including the Jets’ Todd Bowles, who was let go shortly after his team’s 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 Cincinnati’s 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.

Every coach (and ex-coach, and prospective coach) understands that doing well means continuing to coach, and doing poorly means getting canned. This is just more Partisan Media Shill DNC talking point incitement by the New York SLIMES.

It’s also red meat for AI software and robotics.
The “Third Industrial Revolution” is coming for dinner, and it’s going to eat everybody to the left of 50 percentile!
Good point, but that epic won’t happen before the DC pigs are done exploiting illegal labor.
I thought that was obvious.
However, racial comparisons about NFL head coaches always do miss one important fact...
The sixteen Black coaches need to be compared to the sixteen best white coaches from approximately the same era.
Since only six Black coaches have a winning record, I don't think that comparison is going to please the Diversity Demons.
Re: “That epic won’t happen before the DC pigs are done exploiting illegal labor.”
Yes, that’s another good point.
Capital investment by USA corporations has been artificially suppressed for two decades by massive LEGAL immigration and foreign work visas.
Affirmative action is bullshit as are generalities.
I’m sure the ONLY reason they were fired was because they were black.
Come on, these coaches were fired because they didn’t get the job done.
There are some really ignorant Whites, and some brilliant Blacks. Intelligence does not equal coaching skills and leadership ability. I suspect some of these coaches got where they were due to affirmative action but even the hyper politically-correct NFL cannot ignore the bottom line of W’s and L’s.
Where I believe Black coaches fail is their acceptance of typical “Urban” attitudes. Instead of demanding nothing less than an exemplary work ethic, these coaches empathize with their players. They are reluctant, or unable to lead their teams because they are afraid they will be acting “White”. There are some truly bad White coaches as well, so the lack of leadership skills isn’t exclusively a Black thing.
Black persons cannot be fired.
I've never seen this before. I did a quick search and couldn't find anything similar.
Can you steer me to a source?
One of the reasons that moron Marvin Lewis kept his job for the last ten years was because he is black. The other major reason was the owner, Mike Brown, is a bigger moron than Lewis.
In my experience, Hispanics are hired instead of blacks because this dynamic isn’t at work as much. Supervisors feel they get a better deal, while still “checking a box” so they have a “diverse” department. I’ve noticed Hispanic females replacing both black and white females in many low-skill office jobs.
Relative IQ differences between races is not racism. It’s statistics. You can’t measure racism. You can measure IQ.
Government employees, college professors and Congresscritters excepted.
They been Kaepernick’ed!
Yeh yeh yeh. NFL is racist.
Africa is a joke.
A Sad one..

“there is a difference in average IQ for whites and blacks”
IQ is an insulting way comparing the mental capabilities of different races and cultures.
Its only insulting when one notices the marked differences.
