It’s not a coincidence that 22 head coaches of color have been hired by Football Bowl Subdivision, or FBS, and Football Championship Subdivision, or FCS, schools in the eight years since the Black Coaches and Administrators, or BCA, released its first report card. This represents 52 percent of all ethnic minority football coaches ever hired.
“We have been an instrument of accountability,” said BCA executive director Floyd Keith in a telephone interview. “We’ve also provided names of talent that are out there and have been successful, who can do the job. Those coaches have gone in and they have been successful.”
