Why do we need more minority coaches to be hired?

We don't. I thought the idea was that minority candidates would be considered.

The head coach position is a vital position where teams make a massive commitment. The key attributes are someone who can outthink his opponent.

With such a vital role at stake, I can see how front offices subconsciously let stereotypes toward blacks affect their decision-making.  It's natural. It's no different than why Jeremy Lin didn't get a chance b/c he's Asian and there's no Asian PGs in the NBA.

Front offices don't see many black head coaches, so they wonder whether there's something inherent that makes them rare in the industry.

But when lots of minority candidates succeed, that stereotype dissipates.  You have a Super Bowl w/ 2 black coaches.  That erodes the stereotype.  I don't think the requirement to interview black coaches is as necessary today as it was 15 years ago.

people who push for black coaches are not held accountable.  they push for this yet if a team hires a black coach and things don't work out, where are these people?  do they get penalize?  nope. 

it's like somebody being in your business when they don't have any rights to be in your business.  yet when things go wrong, there's no repercussion for them.  kinda sounds like the government.

an analogy is somebody forcing you to bet a team.  well, they have to business doing so because they have no skin in they game.  yet, they do it and you listen to them.  you lose your money and they don't pay anything.  doesn't make sense.

That rooney rule is embarassing. If you can coach white black or whatever and moved up ranks why not get a shot. I think it really sets society back 40 years with joke of rule

That's very simplistic thinking but it's not that easy bud. 

The situation is more like there's 4 Bellicheks- each one being indian, black, white and asian.

Who do you think will be hired with everything being equal?

That's the issue.

The issue isn't so much of qualification, experience, etc etc. for the most part.

I've hired people (white, black and everything else) for just over 15 years and I can tell you this happens ZERO percent of the time.  There is no "everything equal".  We are all individuals.  One candidate is always better than the other.  It's very simplistic to think otherwise.
