Former NFL coach Jimmy Raye has strong thoughts about the lack of opportunities for Black coaches throughout the league.
Speaking to USA Today's Jarrett Bell, Raye called the limited options "very disappointing" and said "it reeks of systemic racism."
The NFL just completed another coaching cycle after the 2022 season, with five teams hiring a new head coach. New Houston Texans head coach DeMeco Ryans was the only Black candidate to get a job.
Ryans is one of three Black head coaches currently in the NFL, along with Mike Tomlin of the Pittsburgh Steelers and Todd Bowles of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
