Thanks for the comments. I don't favor quotas or anything like that but it is a reasonable question to look to see if there is discrimination.

Yeah, I'd love to see a rational discussion of this issue here. I'm sure most of the NFL fans here will remember when Sherman Lewis, as offensive coordinator of the super bowl champion Packers in 1997, wasn't even interviewed for several of the openings that later went to coaches with much worse records (including my own beloved team, hiring loser Pete Caroll). Now I'm certainly not arguing that someone should have forced the Pats to hire Lewis, or anyone else, for any reason at all. And all of those teams that hired loser white coaches had good reasons, and have since (Lewis is still an offensive coordinator, still no head coaching job). But sticking your head in the sand and making jokes about the issue is what allows the left to implement wrong-headed "solutions" to these genuine issues.
