.JarrettBell: Today’s NFL could certainly use the type of progressive thinking that Bill Walsh employed.
On the coaching front, concerns are escalating that rampant nepotism has increasingly become another barrier for entry-level jobs. At the top of the totem pole, there is a dearth of minority coordinators. The “prototype” candidate? That tag – often applied to assistants attached to quarterbacks – doesn’t typically apply minorities, although some of the league’s most successful coaches had no such offensive background.
It’s no wonder that Rod Graves, who recently succeeded John Wooten as executive director of the Fritz Pollard Alliance , issued a scathing rebuke of NFL hiring practices. Graves, whose background includes eight years as Arizona Cardinals GM, called the challenge “a battle for social justice.” That sounds a lot like what Edwards said in describing Walsh’s philosophies as a power-broker. Edwards pointed to Tampa Bay Buccaneers coach Bruce Arians – flanked by African-American coordinators Byron Leftwich and Todd Bowles – as an example of what he once discussed with Walsh: an emphasis on minority coordinators.
