Indianapolis Colts Champions of Hiring Black Coaches

[troydad7]

Attention NFL owners. Four black coaches and two black general managers have gone to the Super Bowl in the past four years. Ironically, all four coaches came out of the Indianapolis Colts organization.

The Colts didn't win. But they continue wining the Super Bowl of ... progressive thinking! They continue making history when it comes to hiring Black coaching staff the rest of sports and society should look at.

Imagine, the Indianapolis Colts had the guts to hire a rookie coach-of-color, instead of the same "old boys" network of coaches most teams turn to. The payoff? The best record in the NFL and another Super Bowl appearance.

In a ... "what have you done for me lately" industry, I pray more owners will notice the growing percentage of Black coaches going to the Super Bowl lately.

No, the Indianapolis Colts didn't win, but they're still Champions of justice, equality and progressive thinking. Big ups!

Roy,
Thanks for pointing out the progress that is being made. One other indicator of the Colts progress is that Toney Dungy recommended Jim Caldwell when he retired. So, they listened.

Even with the Super Bowl appearance as a rookie coach, I read one commentator that said, "Payton Manning was the reason the Colts were there. Jim Caldwell was just a spectator."

No matter the progress we make, it will be HARD FOR A BLACK MAN TO SUCCEED in the eyes of some detractors.
