His fin offense wasn't anything special yet he would be ok as Jet coach? I'm not saying owners wouldn't hire any. They will just keep hiring retreads over and over again.
Our last two head coaches were first timers...Mangini and Rex.

How the heck did Syracuse head coach get hired? I'm saying owners are more willing to go outside the box for non minority coaches and GM's. I am not saying unwilling to hire minorities just not as daring. That is prejudice which most people have to some degree.
I'm not saying prejudices don't exist. I just don't think any owner of a $500M sports franchise is more interested in the race of his coach than winning football games.

For the record, I'd love me some Lovie!
