Aroogah-
I know McDaniel identifies as black, and I'm doing him a bit of a disservice putting him in that category alongside Saleh, which Canales in all honesty should be in as well.
But trying to make some distinction between the african american ranks and those who may have been cut a bit more slack for not being as black, if that makes any sense at all..
Anyway all for more ethnicities getting the big chair, and hoping that this cycle of hirings doesn't dent the confidence or chances of some of the up and coming OC's and DC's of colour out there..

Now the firing/hiring season is over, time to look at my semi annual state of the Black NFL Head Coach.
New Hires
Raheem Morris - Falcons
Antonio Pierce - Raiders
Jerod Mayo - Patriots
Dave Canales - Panthers
Still There
DeMeco Ryans - Texans
Todd Bowles - Buccaneers
Mike Tomlin - Steelers
Not Black, but Not White either
Mike McDaniels - Dolphins
Robert Saleh - Jets
Some improvement on the hiring front and I'm really hoping Raheem Morris follows in DeMeco Ryans footsteps and rapidly improves the Falcons, as winning is the only way to secure that coaching position. Todd Bowles getting the Buccaneers into the playoffs should give him another season or two, when it was looking rocky after Brady's retirement.
I'm hoping Pierce gets his co-ordinators right, not liking the look of them hiring either Kliff Kingsbury or Luke Getsy (current front runner and ex bears OC) for OC, as if he keeps the Raiders competitive he could actually get enough rope and patience from Davis to be in it long term, and then the chance to rebuild that roster (also not super high on Telesco as the new GM)
Also pray for Saleh, after that warts and all piece came out about the Jets implosion after Rodgers went down, if they don't get the playoffs next season, I fear he could be gone..
edit:
After only have 1 black HC at the end of 22 (Mike Tomlin raise your hand), we're now upto 6 which should realistically be the new baseline..
Edit/Edit:
added Dave Canales who is Mexican American to the New Hires
