The Pittsburgh Steelers’ Mike Tomlin and the Tampa Buccaneers’ Todd Bowles are the only current Black NFL head coaches. Bowles, an Elizabeth, New Jersey, native, was the Jets’ head coach from 2015–18.
The number was reduced on Sunday when the Houston Texans fired Lovie Smith, who was only afforded one season on the job and finished with the second-worst record in the league at 3-13-1. However, even the legendary late Green Bay Packers coach Vince Lombardi couldn’t have won more than a handful of games with the deficient Texans roster.
Among the many commonalities shared by Smith and Culley are they are both Black and were both terminated after just one season. The 43-year-old Kingsbury was hired by the Cardinals to be their head coach in January 2019 in what could be developed as a unit in a class curriculum on the subject of white privilege. He was given that position with no professional coaching experience on his résumé and a dubious 35-40 record, including a 19-35 mark in Big 12 Conference games in six seasons as the head coach for Texas Tech.
The fundamental point is Black coaches aren’t provided with the same longevity to weather losing seasons as white coaches. In the cases of Smith and Culley, just one. A little under a year ago today, Brian Flores, who in three seasons as the Miami Dolphins head coach had them on an upward trajectory, filed a class-action lawsuit Tuesday against the NFL and its 32 teams, alleging discrimination against Black head coaches and executives. The suit is ongoing.
