14 Percent Of NFL Coaches Are Related To Current Or Former Coaches

[RealGM Wiretap]

The NFL\'s coaching ranks not only has issues of diversity but also nepotism. Out of a total of 792 coaches employed by NFL teams, 111 are related biologically or through marriage to current or former coaches, which constitutes a 14 percent rate.

Nine of the 32 current head coaches are either the son or father of a current or former NFL coach. 

Both Bill Belichick sons went straight from college to jobs on their dad’s staff, Steve as a coaching assistant and Brian as a scouting assistant. They did not coach high school or college football, and they are both now NFL position coaches. 

“Just read their bio, that’s all you need,” said one person close to the Patriots. “Remove the name and tell me what you have. Seriously.”

Daddy's success shouldn't be giving those around him the same opportunities despite not having the qualifications. Tons of coaches around the country fail to get these opportunities despite having quantifiable qualifications needed. It goes deeper than that though because it's yet another reason that a majority black league has a distinct lack of black coaches and management.

So the black coaches and FO staff should not be allowed to hire their family has they have been doing as well.

I recognize that tone a mile away and I refuse to waste time with it. It's pathetic THAT is what you felt the need to comment on.

All should be on table if the article is taking one group then same metric should be applied to all. Fair judgement should be applied to all not just one gender or race or creed or orientation. Why do you hate the first nations tribes so much.
