Funny that you use Saturday to support your argument, when he never should have had a chance in the first place. He was woefully unqualified and his hiring was widely panned by the same people he was on television with before he became coach. Then, when the season ended, Irsay was rumored to be ignoring people around him and attempting to stick with Saturday.

Those Black coaches' situations are/were all radically different: Flores was allegedly pressured to throw games--despite coaching well with a limited roster--and refused and was definitely put through sham interviews. Love Smith clearly declined as a coach in addition to being saddled with losers. Jim Caldwell was significantly improving a perennially losing team when he was fired. Tomlin is an all-time great forever winning with a seemingly perennially rebuilding team; hired by the namesakes of the diversity-in-coaching rule. And Bowles is seemingly always on a short leash no matter the level of talent he has. Flores, Caldwell, and Bowles have legit complaints. Smith had a short run of being good and hasn't been since. History is lucky Tomlin connected with the Rooneys.
