While the NBA has a relatively high rate of hiring black head coaches (13 of 29, or 44.8 percent), only three of 31 NFL coaches (9 percent) this past year were black, and two of them (Dennis Green and Tony Dungy) were just fired, despite leading their teams to the Playoffs a combined 12 times in 16 seasons.
