I don't have immediate access to minority status data. So I would need a lot of info and I am not sure even if that information exists anywhere or could even be compiled.
I mean, Jim Thorpe (1920 head coach and one of the most remarkable athletes of the 20th century) was Native American. So even a blanket - "everyone before 1965 was white" would not be entirely accurate. But focused on the post AFL/NFL merger would be more attainable.
There are minority coaching fellowships though. It would be interesting to track to see if those have ever translated into NFL careers.

Yeah, can see it might be difficult. See what you can do (if anything), if other questions comes up that's easier to answer with the data you have at hand, jump on them...
On a side note, really interested to see where Eric Bienemy ends up, if anywhere? Feels like his time in Washington has taken him further away from getting a HC job, rather than closer, through what seems like no fault of his..

I'd like to know what's the average time (seasons) it takes for white coaches (from starting coaching in the NFL) to get head coaching jobs vs black coaches.
I may have some more questions, but currently can't think of them.
