College football's diversity quietly improves among head-coaching hires
The article states:
-In 2011 46% of Divison I college football players were black, but only 19 of the 120 (16%) head coaches were black. In 2009 there were only 4.
-In 2009 26% of schools in a BCS conference had never had a black man serve as head coach of either their football or men's basketball teams. Today, that figure is 17%.
-The article ends with the statement, "that doesn't make these school racist." Then why so many black players but so few black head coaches?
