And still no African-American coaches among the new HC hires?

Oh for God's sake.  No Asians, Native Americans, Arabs or Martians either.  Stop it.

I think it is entirely fair to note that African Americans continue to be underrepresented among college football head coaches.  45% of players in NCAA Div I are Black.  Only about a dozen out of 128 FBS coaches (including our own) are.

Agreed.  When Asians and Martians comprise half of the population playing a sport (and have for decades) I'll be equally interested in their representation. 

Interestingly, Stanford's record is pretty good here.  Not only Shaw, but we have connections to two other black coaches: Derek Mason and Willie Taggert at Univ. of Southern Florida.
