ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) — The Black Coaches and Administrators organization has found encouraging progress in the hiring process for Division I football coaches.
The BCA released its annual Hiring Report Card on Tuesday. In the 2010-11 cycle, coaches of color were hired in 10 of the 29 searches in FBS and FCS. That brings the total number of minority head coaches in Division I to a record 28 (not including historically black colleges and universities).
At the top Football Bowl Subdivision level, 14 of 21 schools earned an A grade for the inclusivity of their hiring process in the report done in conjunction with The Institute for Diversity and Ethics in Sport at the University of Central Florida. Only one, San Diego State, received an F.
