National Coalition of Minority Football Coaches Announces Official Launch and Board of Directors

In a 2019 working paper out of the Global Sport Institute at Arizona State University, the data revealed that at least 77% of offensive coordinators – a favored position when considering head coach candidates – hired each season over the last ten seasons were white. In today’s college game, like in the NFL, the number of minority head coaches is paltry. Out of 130 FBS eligible schools, only 14 head coaches are minorities. The offensive and defensive coordinator positions fare no better on a percentage basis. And the decision makers in college, athletic directors, presidents, conference commissioners, like their pro counterparts, lack meaningful diversity.
