     NFL hires 4 coaches of            color in one cycle for first      time ever. And 'it's a big        deal'

There’s hope for this country yet.


For decades, NFL owners have clung to the idea that people of color couldn’t coach their teams. They didn’t look the part.

They didn’t interview well. They didn’t have the right experience. They didn’t have the right connections.

They didn’t have the right astrological sign or whatever other nonsense excuse they used to hold deserving candidates back simply because they didn’t have the white color skin.


Well, look at the league now. Hours after the Carolina Panthers hired Dave Canales as their head coach Thursday came the news the Atlanta Falcons decided on Raheem Morris.

That makes four men of color hired in a single coaching cycle, a record for the NFL, according to data collected for USA TODAY Sports' NFL Coaches Project.


It also brings the number of head coaches of color to nine, one more than the previous record for a single season. And there are still two jobs, the Seattle Seahawks and Washington Commanders, left to fill.
