Outside of the SWAC and ULL for 2 years and Tulane (4 years): has ANY other school had a black HC? and La College doest count. You make more as a HS then there 
..
With over 65% of the team being black, why not coaches?

I think Jerry Baldwin set black coaches back two generations.

Legit question. Probably lack of overall experience but more are coordinators so I would expect to see the % change.

Black people are 13% of the population, but 65% of the players. That's because they're better at playing than their white counterparts.
Why is it so hard to believe the opposite is true when it comes to coaching?

More have to be coordinators first before they can be HC.

On top of what has already been said, I think the whole woke PC thing has a little to do with it as well. Look at FSU, Willie clearly was screwing the pooch and when he got fired after 2 years ppl were up in arms screaming racism,saying Norvell better get fired after the same timeframe if he doesn't win a natty ect ect.
No AD wants to deal with that shite.

Considering you edited the post a doubt that was off the top of your head. Plus who could actually spout off that many black head coaches at irrelevant schools anyways without looking it up. I know I couldn’t so I doubt you could as well.

No it’s not. This is one of the dumbest threads I’ve seen on this board.

Because there is zero objective evidence to support that notion.

Pretty much everyone from that list has been terrible.

There is, but it's dismissed.
How many black coaches have won their conference, or national championships?
How many of them have won Super Bowls?
If they were demonstrably better than their white peers, then those numbers would be much higher despite their low number of opportunities (as is with black players vs population percentage).
A good coach is a good coach regardless of how much melanin is in their skin. Let's not try to pretend people don't hire black coaches because they're black anymore.
