Diversity of NFL’s coaching searches praised

A year after the NFL’s minority hiring practices came under renewed scrutiny and criticism, the league and its teams are drawing praise for the diversity of the candidates who have been considered and hired in recent weeks for head coaching jobs.

Two of the six head coaches hired by NFL teams since the conclusion of the regular season, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers’ Lovie Smith and the Detroit Lions’ Jim Caldwell, are African American. Last year, no minority coaches were among the eight head coaches hired league-wide.

The senators and politicians. Maybe we might catch on there too.

I can think of a politician that comes to mind, Vincent Gray in DC and Elijah Cummings in Maryland.

I'm glad Jim Caldwell got another job, he was screwed by a idiot general manager. The "all Peyton all the time" strategy was just waiting to backfire.
