You looked at their receiving corps?

Panthers leading the way when it comes to diversity. Cool stat. Just another reason to love this team, from the players on up to ownership.

I feel good and bad about that chart

[Mr. Scot]

I don't honestly know whether they've made a concerted effort to do this or not.

My general belief was that they just hired whom they considered the most qualified person available and it just fell out this way.

Could be wrong. Don't know.

I agree.

Hire people who can do the job. Give them what they need to succeed.  Get out of their way and let them do their job.  

Or something along those lines.

I can see why you'd see things that way, but I don't believe that this situation is so black and white (perhaps a pun or two unintended, intended, and steeped in irony).

I'll just leave it at that.

I thought they left the huddle saying, "WP!" was for willpower. Guess we know now.

63% of the US is white (so sayeth the google) So any team who's coaching staff hovers around 60-65% white seems to be in line with the overall demographics of the US. 

I personally don't give a poo what color you are as long as you're the best dude for the job. When McDermott gets a head coaching job (which I'm sure he will within the next 3 years) I fully expect Wilks to take over as D-Coordinator. I don't think he'll get it because he's black, I think he'll get it because he's the next best guy for the job moving forward.

No seriously. If you look at the chart, you'll notice a couple of interesting stats:

• Overall record for top 5: 48-32
• Overall record for bottom 5: 34-46
• # of top 5 teams with 10 wins: 3
• # of bottom 5 with 10 wins: 2
• # of top 5 teams with dumba$$ owners: 0
• # of bottom 5 teams with dumba$$ owners: 2 (3 if you include Pat's Kraft)

This really explains why Belichick likes to jump out and scare rookies dressed as a ghost.
