It didn't take long.

Barely 12 hours after the NFL's regular season ended, five head coaches were unemployed. Fired on Monday were Washington's Mike Shanahan, Detroit's Jim Schwartz, Minnesota's Leslie Frazier and Tampa Bay's Greg Schiano.

A liberal white male panelist on ESPN 2 just said "And I can assure you the NFL is not happy that an African-American head coach was fired today and that leaves two in current coaching roles. That will not go over well." he then mentioned Lovie Smith should get a job at one of these openings and maybe Tampa Bay.

No mention of not enough whites playing, however. Imagine if that topic was raised.

Perhaps this liberal white male should surrender his job for an African-American looking to get into the business.

“Tampa Bay’s Greg Schiano”

maybe next season won’t be so incredibly painful to watch.

Which remaining coaches are minority? Clearly Pittsburgh. The only other I can think of is Ron Rivera in Carolina. Does the NFL consider Latino a minority, too, or just black?

If the Bears hadn't fired Lovie Smith last year, they would be in the playoffs this year. (He was fired last year after 1 10-6 season, this year they were 8-8)

They replaced him with by far the worst coach in the NFL, Marc Trestman.

Who is the black guy? Not that I care, really, but I’m curious.

Let me also mention again, I’ll take the Redskins job for a mere million. I can start immediately!

That was the term the liberal used, so I repeated it. He seemed very very upset at this. What about receptionists or marketing assistants? That would be Richard Lapchick’s responsibility — he is the professor who grades organizations based on women and minorities.

Detroit made a mistake firing Schwartz. They won’t be in the playoffs again for at least 5 years.

“What about Asian coaches? I don’t see any.”

We need a gay, Asian female, paraplegic coach with Tourette syndrome who stutters.
