Black Coaches & Administrators
- The September 4 football game featuring African-American head coaches Charlie Strong (Louisville) and Joker Phillips (Kentucky) spotlights an increase in the number of minority head coaches on the sidelines this season.
The number of minority coaches in Division I at the Football Bowl Subdivision level compared to this time last year increased from eight to 15, although there are 119 coaches in that subdivision.
In June 2008, there were only three head football coaches of color at the FBS level. Overall, there are 33 minority head football coaches across all divisions, excluding Historically Black Colleges and Universities. That number includes 29 African-Americans.
