NFL PING!.................
I don’t know these coaches, as I don’t follow the NFL all that closely. But I would tell who was black and who wasn’t before I even looked.
Poetic justice would be to have Indy hire Wilks and have a better season than Reich at Carolina.
They’z dun did me wrongz…
Carolina doing what they do best.
Loud mouth, Steven A. Smith of espn, will be screaming racism because the coach being hired is white and the one not, is black.
That’s the head coach’s job.
Panthers ownership is free to hire whomever they want. Period.
“It seemed like Wilks had to deal with a lot of stuff as Carolina’s head coach that he shouldn’t have had to put up with.”
And that’s why the Panthers selected Reich. He would know how to deal with that “stuff.”
Sounds like Wilks burnished his resumé in twelve games with the Panthers and will land on his feet somewhere.
Black men, as a group, make up around 6% of the US population, yet account for some 70% of NFL players. Black men are overrepresented in the NFL. If it’s understandable that based on talent, black players populate so many slots, why isn’t it also understandable that their coaching talent is properly related to the number of black men as coaches?
He was 3-13 in his previous head coaching gig with Arizona. Reich is 40-33-1 with two playoff appearances.
