  • NFL Teams Regress in Hiring of Black Head Coaches

    The 2026 NFL hiring cycle has concluded with zero Black head coaches hired to fill a record 10 vacancies.

    This outcome has sparked intense criticism of the league's diversity efforts, as the number of Black head coaches in the NFL has now dropped to just three—the same number present when the Rooney Rule was first established in 2003.


    2026 Head Coaching Hires

    Of the 10 openings, Robert Saleh (Tennessee Titans) was the only minority candidate hired. The remaining nine positions were filled by white candidates.


    The Current Landscape

    The league enters the 2026 season with a significant net loss in representation following the resignation of Mike Tomlin (Steelers) and the firing of Raheem Morris (Falcons).

    * Remaining Black Head Coaches (3): Todd Bowles (Buccaneers), DeMeco Ryans (Texans), and Aaron Glenn (Jets).

    * The "Pipeline" Debate: Critics point out that several highly qualified Black candidates, such as Panthers DC Ejiro Evero and Lions OC Ben Johnson (who is white but was a top candidate), were passed over in a cycle that favored established white head coaches (Harbaugh, Stefanski, McCarthy) or young offensive coordinators from the "Shanahan/McVay" tree.

    * Rooney Rule Under Fire: While the rule requires teams to interview at least two external minority candidates, the "zero-for-ten" result has led many analysts and fans to label the interview process as "performative" or a "sham."

    Perspective

    The disparity is particularly stark when compared to the league's player demographics, where approximately 70% of players are Black, yet they represent less than 10% of head coaching roles heading into the new season.

  • Lakers Make Huge Mistake in Hiring JJ Reddick as Head Coach
    JJ Reddick was a very good player and has a genius level IQ for basketball, just like LeBron James. However, like King James, he has zero coaching experience. This is not a championship run hiring. It's "let LeBron have his way before he is done." Right, there's no other dude LeBron relates to, with respect to Basketball, than JJ Reddick. They host a podcast together!

  • Congratulations to the Boston Celtics for Winning 2024 NBA Championship-Analysis by Wil Omane
    Boston Celtics won the 2024 NBA Championship based great team play and excellent coaching. The Celtics were clearly the best team all year and it was only fair that they won the Chip. Al Horford and Jrue Holiday was pivotal to the Celtics Success. However, the two stars, Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown, stepped up big time for Boston. Jaylen deserved both the ECF and Finals MVP for his excellent play on both sides of the Ball.

  • Why Bronny James should get out of playing basketball
    I believe that Bronny James should be proud of his athletic accomplishments up to date and leave the game of Basketball. Bronny should instead pave his own path for the future, away from his father LeBron James' huge shadow.
