Ep 1085 | The Real Reason Black NFL Coaching Candidates Failed in 2026

Jason delves into the fact that 10 NFL teams hired new head coaches, sans a black coach hiring. He states that black men see themselves as victims, not leaders. That victim mentality explains why black coaches fail and were bypassed during this NFL head coaching cycle. Mike Tomlin has been criticized for failing to produce a coaching tree, having leaned on veteran assistants during his career with the Pittsburgh Steelers. Jason explains that Tomlin was viewed as a players’ coach, not for his strategy. How many black coaches are known for their strategy or brand? Brian Flores is the highest-paid defensive coordinator in the league, but he is suing the NFL following his dismissal as the Miami Dolphins' head coach compromising his candidacy. Bucky Brooks joins Jason to discuss the head coaching hires and the firing of Kwesi Adofo-Mensah as Minnesota Vikings general manager. Did taking paternity leave really factor into his dismissal? Steve Kim comes aboard for the final lap, discussing Steve Kerr apologizing for spewing misinformation about ICE; Deion Sanders spewing misinformation that coaches and players voted Shedeur Sanders into the Pro Bowl; and Maria Taylor’s Peacock special "Field Generals: History of the Black Quarterback" debuting this week. ​​Today's Sponsors: PreBorn PreBorn has helped rescue more than 400,000 babies, and every single day, they continue that work by offering mothers something powerful and life-changing: an ultrasound.
