Charlie Strong, former defensive coordinator for 2008's national champion Florida Gators, is the new head coach for the Louisville Cardinals. He is but the latest of several new Black coaches hired to work for a major collegiate university in a matter of days.

“When we were offered this job, me and my wife looked at each other  because you just never thought it was going to happen,” said Strong, underscoring his happiness with tiny shards of past disappointment."

The 49-year-old will assume his new position immediately.

Though he is the head coach, he will also be creating and working exclusively with the Card's defense.

Taking time out his of regular football analyst duties as a member of NBC's pre-game show, Tony Dungy publicly decried the lack of Black head coaches currently employed at major universities, revealing what many minority sports enthusiasts see as one of the last obvious racial hurdles.

There are only 9 minority coaches currently working at one of 120 major bowl eligible schools, of which, Randy Shannon of Miami is the only head coach leading a BCS college.

“The numbers would tell you that it is,” said the Super Bowl-winning coach when asked whether the lack of Black, or faces of any color, on college football sidelines represents institutionalized racism.

Alumni and booster clubs have traditionally allotted coaching jobs to people that they feel are the “most qualified,” often neglecting to check whether someone that may look different from them would be fit for the position.

Ironically, Black coaches have a better chance to become a head coach in the NFL than they would a college shot caller; seven of the league's 32 teams have Black men serving as top coach.

I pose this question to you Hip-Hop Wired fans. . .

Is the lack of Black head coaches in the NCAA institutionalized racism or is the “apparent” lack of qualified men an inconvenient reality???
