Today showed me why both teams continue to suck year after year. I had sided in the past that the NFL franchises should control who they hire for vacant positions but I have been swayed to saying there is clearly a racial factor in hiring inside the NFL. For the panthers they selected a guy to be their head coach who most recently (this season) led the colts to a 3-5-1 record and never a playoff contender. They chose him over interim coach Steve Wilks who led this team to 6-6 in his rest of season coaching tenure and had a chance at the playoffs in week 17 and 18. They also chose Reich over DeMeco Ryan, Eric Bienemy, and other successful coaches this season. Then the jets on the same day choose Nathan Hackett to be their offensive coordinator. Hackett is coming off a head coaching gig where he led the broncos to being the biggest disappointment of the NFL this year and his offense ranked 32nd, last, in the NFL overall despite having serious talent. The fact that these two coaches get to have second chances when they clearly fell very short this season over African American coaches who are having success and have sustained success for several seasons is a complete joke and a to the NFL hiring practices. It just really surprised me those guys got jobs so quickly, the season still has three weekends left!
