Explanations offered for the dearth of African-American head football college coaches include interference by influential white alumni and fans that hinders the hiring of African-American head football coaches, the refusal of athletic administrators to admit that a problem exists in hiring procedures, and black coaches’ lack of experience because many did not play in central positions during college. Do you agree or disagree with any of the foregoing reasons? Are there other reasons for the underrepresentation of racial minorities in coaching and management positions in college and professional sports? Professor Kenneth Shropshire argues that the inability of African Americans to break into leadership is attributable in large part to negative stereotypes. These stereotypes, in conjunction with the “good old boy” system of hiring, result in lower numbers of blacks in authority positions in sports. Shropshire, supra, at 83–85
