Placism is still racism…

This has been long overdue. The NFL has been 67-72% black annually since the AFL/NFL Merger in 1970. In fact the 1st leaguue champion that had a majority of black team was the Kansas City Chiefs who won Super Bowl IV 56 years ago. Yet only coach’s sons who couldn’t play are the only one’s who can lead a team?? Know the “Xs” and “Os”?? Have meetings and teach techniques? Give me a break and now the branch of nepotism extends with the Cardinals hiring Mike LaFleur as their head coach. He is the brother of Packer Head Coach Matt LaFleur. All this to go with John & Jim Harbaugh with the Giants & Chargers respectively.

Especially given our political climate of black erasure our current President has spearheaded, the hiring of all 10 NFL HC openings and not one black coach named is a travesty and a choice. Its much more nefarious than that as mainstream media has turned into white writers backing white OCs pretending their all quarterback whisperers.

Funny but 6 months ago I wrote an article and showed that EVERY MAJOR NFL PASSING RECORD was held by quarterbacks led by defensive coaches with none held by any of these guys being touted. I had first described the media’s role of selectively omitting genius of black coordinators and here we are. What happened to Eric Bienemy in this race to anoint the next offensive mind if that was the real reason.

Bienemy was the Chiefs OC from 2018-2022 when Patrick Mahomes won 2 MVPs and Super Bowl LIV & LVII under his watch. Remember that team?? They scored a team record 565 points (’18) and Mahomes threw for a team record 50TDs. Wait I thought y0u were after offense? Wasn’t the 565 points 3rd most in NFL history? Yes right behind the ’13 Broncos (606 pts) & the ’07 undefeated Patriots (589 pts). So why wasn’t he hired again? Who do you think spread that rumor he didn’t interview well?

So you want offense but don’t hire the Offensive Coordinator of a record setting offense?? Hmmm?

He interviewed well enough to be hired back to the Chiefs as OC where ’18-22 his Chief offenses were 1st, 6th, 1st, 3rd, & 1st in his tenure. Yet they plummeted to 9th in ’23, 17th in ’24 & 20th in ’25 under OC Matt Nagy but he parted ways believing he would get a 2nd Head Coaching job? Hmmmmmmm…when Bienemy couldn’t?? So it isn’t about offensive prowess then huh? Didnt Bienemy have the NFC’s 5th highest passing yardage leader in Sam Howell (who?) with 3,946 yds passing in their only season together?? Wasn’t Matt Nagy the same quarterback whisperer who failed with 1st rounder Mitch Trubisky in Chicago? The best Trubisky ever threw for was 3,223?

On what planet would Nagy’s resume look better than Bienemy’s? You’re right… Nagy didnt get hired but a lot of others like him did. Ok Show me where their resumes outdo Bienemy’s?

What about Byron Leftwich who was Tampa’s Offensive Coordinator (7th ranked offense) that won Super Bowl LV?? Of course supremist detractors will just point to Tom Brady but he didnt call plays. How do we know this? For one he wouldn’t have been signaling 4th down looking for a play to come to him from Leftwich in that Thursday Night debacle in Chicago when he forgot the down. Remember that? Just reverse image search the Brady pic…

So if black offensive coordinators can’t get the nod you don’t even need me to bring up black wizard DC Brian Flores who has been covered by Taylor Blitz Times on multiple occasions as why he should be a Head Coach again.

The truth of the matter is NFL players are going to have to collude themselves and go play for the black coaches in the NFL only when it comes to free agency. They need to voice their opinion through their union and then force teams hands when they all consolidate their prowess on just a few teams. Once teams start losing top free agents and they start gathering only with those teams with black coaches will they bring other teams to the table.

Some players may have to sacrifice a few dollars but the greater good for the rest of the black players who wish to be taken seriously as coaches after their playing days will be the long term benefit. We either start our own league or consolidate all your power on just a few teams forcing Owners out of their prejudiced/racist edict of hiring just white coaches.

Just imagine if WRs George Pickens, Rashid Shaheed, Mike Evans, and RBs Kenneth Walker III, Travis Etienne, TE Kyle Pitts, & David Njoku all signed with Head Coach Aaron Glenn and the New York Jets. Then go get DE Josh Sweat, CBs DJ Reed, and Asante Samuel Jr. Since these are the biggest free agents of this year. What would happen if this happened over the next two years? Two years? Yeah…the 2nd offseason come back and snatch WR Justin Jefferson, Khalil Mack,  and Patrick Surtain II next year.

When they can’t sign important black free agents because they don’t have a black coach how fast do you think they’ll cave?

Its time to send American Football League sized shockwaves through the NFL Owners and front offices. Those that forced the NFL to merge and operate differently with the respect they had to afford the new league. Several of the coaches just hired are good coaches and wish them well… not Kevin Stefanski. Definitely not Kevin Stefanski… You’ll have to bring the current owners to their knees in much the same fashion. They won’t leave their placist/racist ways without being forced kicking and screaming. Its the only way…

Just sick of the prejudiced attitudes… time to make a move guys and the time is now!!
