A look at the NFL’s lack of diversity in head coaches.

The San Francisco 49ers never had a Black head coach before Mike Singletary coached his first game 14 years ago Wednesday, and they’ve not had one since he was fired on the day after Christmas in 2010.

Had Singletary not, the experience of his Black peers indicates he might not have gotten a full-time shot.

The Minnesota Vikings kept Leslie Frazier after he went 3-3 as the interim coach in 2010, and Kansas City did the same when Romeo Crennel — who succeeded Robiskie as the Browns’ head coach — went 2-1 to close out the 2011 season.
