I realize this part of the comment was just a reflection/reiteration of the discussion in the media and on fan sites from that time, but I have felt from the time that happened, that that “claim” is/was a completely fungible “excuse” to move on from a young black coach to an old white coach. If that sort of thing happened just once or twice, ok, maybe those few specific instances had some credibility. But finding soft reasons for picking the white guy is a huge systemic problem in the NFL.

So much for progress on inclusive hiring in the NFL

Nearing the close of another hiring cycle, NFL owners have failed again. In a period in which there were initially seven openings for head coaches and now has o…

They must like Culley because of all that experience he had working under Andy Reid.

I wonder if EB is perhaps being a bit overly demanding, particularly with teams like the Jets and Texans who are hot messes and he doesn’t want to be set up to fail. Just spitballin’.

Could be, but in both those organizations cases, I would do the same. Both are dysfunctional as can be with really bad ownership, so you want as much control as possible.

Might make some sense.

Recent history has shown that not only do Black coaches get fewer opportunities to be hired as a head coach they also are less likely to get a second chance.
 
If stories we have heard are true, he made some demands of RG that he needed assurances in writing before he would come here. That is *supposedly* why he is not currently the head coach at CU. Rich guys who own football teams don’t like having those kinds of demands thrown at them. Again, just hypothetical speculation on my part, but regardless of race, guys with his kind of qualifications don’t usually go two years without a shot at an HC job somewhere.

He made those demands specifically of CU because of Jon Embree and him discussing the opportunity and how Embree & staff felt he was really screwed over. I highly doubt he's throwing lofty demands around to NFL execs.

I was merely speculating, cause I can’t figure out why he hasn’t been given a shot.
 
EB needs to succeed as an OC at somewhere other than Kansas City if he wants to be an NFL head coach. If he can. And if another NFL franchise would hire him as an OC.
 
Embree didn’t get the fairest of shakes but he also put, quite literally, two of the worst football teams on the field I’ve ever seen. Ever. At any other University in any other major conference, for example the SEC, what would they have done to Embree? He woulda been lucky to get outta town with his life intact.
 
Embree was lucky he got a second year. He was fired because he was a horrible head football coach. I really don’t think that’s debatable. Embree went back to being an NFL tight ends coach, which is the same job he had before and the same job he has now.

EB went back to being an NFL RB coach. He is now the OC for the defending Super Bowl Champions and the team that’s favored to win it again this year.

the career trajectory of the two coaches is quite different.
 
EB will get his shot.

Culley seems like "EB Lite" to me. Respected coach and maybe what that franchise decided it was looking for: older (65), steady guy who gets along well with players. I think they wanted someone who would settle things down until the next guy rather than someone who might bring a lot of pressure to change the way things are done organizationally.
 
EB will get a shot, I'm actually glad it's not Houston. I'd like to see him end up at a better organization, Houston just seems toxic right now. Culley has earned his shot, as well. 27 years as an assistant, that's crazy. Besides, Deshaun still wants out is what I'm hearing this morning. Whether Culley can change his mind or not, I'm skeptical. Maybe, EB could've, but that's a maybe. Edit: It's official now, Watson formally requested a trade. It was actually made a few weeks ago according to Shefty. EB dodged a bullet imho.
