The on-field workforce is about 50 percent African American.
Middle management is about 30 percent African American.
Of those one-step from the top rung, 20 percent are African American.
Yet at the very top; where the apparel contracts, TV shows, courtesy cars, and alumni influence mean big, life changing money, Black college football coaches make up about three percent of the total amount of head coaches in the Football Bowl Subdivision (FBS), which until 2008 was known as NCAA Division 1A.
A cynic might say that African Americans are good enough to do the work, largely good enough for first level management, and even good enough to call plays and make important in-game decisions, but not good enough to reap the largest rewards and represent universities as the public face of major college programs.
Part of the plight of Black college football coaches can be explained by the ethnic makeup of decision makers at the top levels of college football. As of January, 2009, 92.5 percent of FBS university presidents, 87.5 percent of FBS athletic directors and 100 percent of FBS conference commissioners were White. Human Resources research indicates that decision makers tend to hire people who are like them, and it clearly seems that Black college football coaches who are candidates for head coaching jobs are not enough like Caucasian decision makers. Further, there also seems to be unwillingness among universities to rehire coaches who have failed in their initial stints as head coaches. Aside from Tyrone Willingham, no Black college football coach who has lost his job has been rehired as a head coach at the FBS level.
University of Buffalo Athletic Director Warde Manuel, who happens to be African American and hired a fellow African American, Turner Gill, as head coach of the Bulls, wondered about that to ESPN.com.
”If a White person is not successful in a particular position, that doesn’t mean another White person would not be successful,” said Manuel. He added: “I struggle with the why, to be honest. Why this is going on as long as it has? Why (Black) people who are coordinators in successful programs haven’t had a chance to be a head coach, while others with less accolades, less records, get these jobs?”
Former Georgetown head basketball coach John Thompson offered an explanation. “I’ve always said that good White folks are reluctant at times to break the mold because of the pressures that are put on them,” Thompson said. “They may feel a little freer to do the right thing now that we have a president of color.”
Some of the explanation may lie in the difference in graduation rates between Caucasian males and African American males. According to the institution Inside Higher Ed, only about 40 percent of enrolled African American males graduate from four year colleges within six years of matriculation, compared to about 60 percent of Caucasian males under the same criteria. It seems that Black college football coaches may be starting with a real disadvantage when it comes to advancement, not just a perceived disadvantage in the eyes of decision makers. But we cannot overlook the fact that 19 of the 68 teams who participated in bowl games for the 2008 season graduated fewer than half of their African American football student-athletes, while only one school graduated fewer than half of its White football student-athletes.
Time will eventually change the number of Black college football coaches, as it has since the day in 1966 when Bill Russell became the first head coach in any major US sport when he took over the Boston Celtics from Red Auerbach. Beyond time; pressure, agitation and personal responsibility are the ingredients necessary to secure change. Pressure on institutions to do the right thing by hiring successful African American coordinators to head coaching positions when openings occur; agitation in the media and through organized peaceful protest in cases when under-qualified Whites get some of those jobs; and the personal responsibility to perform well enough academically to be completely qualified when there are openings, and mentor the next generation to break the chain of African American underperformance in higher education.
Those ingredients are crucial in the recipe to increase the chances of Black college football coaches ascending to the top jobs.
If one were to Google “lightning rod” a picture of conservative commentator Rush Limbaugh might appear. In 2003, Limbaugh may have made himself millions of enemies in the African American community by stating on ESPN that Philadelphia Eagles’ quarterback Donovan McNabb was overrated and playing largely because the media wanted to see a Black quarterback succeed. He was forced to resign his post as an NFL commentator on that network. Now, he may become the employer to dozens of Black football players if he follows through on a stated interest to purchase the St. Louis Rams.
Limbaugh, 58, has made a handsome living by issuing polarizing political statements from his perch as a conservative commentator and radio talk show host. He has a longstanding interest in sports, starting during his days as a Pittsburgh radio personality and Steelers fan in the 1970s, to his several years of employment in the early 1980s as promotions director for the Kansas City Royals baseball team. Now, he is said to be considering investing some of his wealth into the purchase of an NFL franchise.
In a statement released Oct. 8, Limbaugh said he’s partnering with St. Louis Blues owner Dave Checketts in a bid to buy the Rams. Limbaugh didn’t go into details, but said he and Checketts “have made a bid to buy the Rams and are continuing the process.”
It’s unclear whether Limbaugh and Checketts will try to buy the team outright or purchase a majority or minority stake in it. Georgia Frontiere’s children own a 60 percent stake in the team, and billionaire Stan Kroenke owns a 40 percent stake.
Some Black football players find this alarming. Mathias Kiwanuka of the New York Giants has said that he would never play for a team owned by Limbaugh, even the Rams who are coached by Kiwanuka’s former defensive coordinator Steve Spagnulolo.
The New York Jets Bart Scott told the New York Daily News that he agrees with Kiwanuka. Scott says Black football players remember what Limbaugh said, and adds that the NFL would be wise not to allow the nationally syndicated host into the league. “It’s an oxymoron that he criticized Donovan McNabb,” Scott said. “A lot of us took it as more of a racial-type thing. I can only imagine how his players would feel. I know I wouldn’t want to play for him. He’s a jerk. He’s an —. What he said (about McNabb) was inappropriate and insensitive, totally off-base. He could offer me whatever he wanted, I wouldn’t play for him. … I wouldn’t play for Rush Limbaugh. My principles are greater and I can’t be bought.”
The anti-Limbaugh movement extends beyond Kiwanuka and Scott. The NFL Players Association executive director DeMaurice Smith, who is Black, has spoken to NFL commissioner in opposition to Limbaugh’s bid to buy the Rams. In an email to the union’s executive committee Smith wrote, “I’ve spoken to the Commissioner [Roger Goodell] and I understand that this ownership consideration is in the early stages. But sport in America is at its best when it unifies, gives all of us reason to cheer, and when it transcends. Our sport does exactly that when it overcomes division and rejects discrimination and hatred.” Later, Smith expanded on his feelings to ESPN’s Chris Mortensen. This communication is more about what we stand for than the reality of our role in any franchise sale. While it’s true the subject matter was related [to Limbaugh's bid], I do understand that the NFL does not present ownership bids to me or the NFLPA. I encourage our players to express their views.”
According to Mortensen, at least seven NFL players have spoken out against Limbaugh’s proposed purchase of the Rams. Concerns of Black football players aside, American principles of free speech and capitalism (basically the ability to buy what you can afford) are also in play here. It will be interesting to see how Goodell and the NFL owners walk this public relations and possibly legal tightrope. Three quarters of the leagues 32 owners would have to approve the sale.
