Black Coaches Group Seeks Increased College President Input on Football Hires: INDIANAPOLIS - The head of the Black Coaches and Administrators group called Wednesday for more involvement by college presidents in hiring football coaches, a move he said would lead to more minority coaches on the sidelines.
Floyd Keith, executive director of the group, believes it's the best option to make changes quickly.
After releasing the group's latest hiring report card Wednesday, Keith said he was willing to listen to any ideas, including a possible lawsuit, to improve numbers that show nine of 120 Football Bowl Subdivision schools have minority head coaches.
'Today, I believe the one group that can change this situation outside of state and or federal legislation is college presidents,' he said. 'Presidents can create and demand the proper environment and process for equitable searches. In the equation of the collegiate hiring process, a college president is the one individual who can demand justice in the search process.'
