Baltimore Ravens safety Kyle Hamilton expressed concern over the recent firings of two Black first-year full-time head coaches in the NFL, Jerod Mayo and Antonio Pierce. Hamilton highlighted the challenges faced by minority coaches in the league, noting that Black coaches may have a shorter leash.
A survey conducted by The Associated Press revealed that over 90% of Black NFL players were encouraged by the increase in Black head coaches to seven last offseason. However, with Mayo and Pierce's departures and Aaron Glenn's hiring by the New York Jets, the number has dropped back to six.
