Coaching group 'concerned' over lack of minority hires
A group representing and advocating for minority coaches in college sports said Wednesday it was concerned that the football hiring season will pass without a single minority candidate filling an open position.
Among the concerns expressed often by NAFCED and Dr. Richard Lapchick, who has long lobbied for increased coaching opportunities for women and people of color, is the overwhelming number of white men at the highest positions at NCAA schools.
"College sport remains behind professional sports regarding opportunities for women and people of color for the top jobs," Lapchick said.
