One of the most contentious topics every offseason concerns the hiring cycles for head coach positions. Every year, typically between four to eight or more head coaches are fired, and they naturally have to be replaced by other candidates.
Increasingly, those candidacies have been filled almost exclusively by white candidates, to the point where the population of minority head coaches in one offseason was halved from eight to four. With five firings, including one minority head coach, this offseason still presents only four, including said minority head coach, Ron Rivera, who has one of the best resumes among all head coaches in football today.
