Football is totally different. But not every offensive coordinator is a not good head coach either. All head coaches excel in certain areas and rely on assistants to cover other areas but for some reason with black coaches it’s always inferred that their “not intelligent enough” to understand certain things. There are white head coaches whose expertise is on the defensive side in football and basketball but somehow their intelligence is never questioned.
