  • 18 | WCnewsmagazine African-American Coaches succeeding in the NFL By Andy Gambill wenewsmagazine The NFL saw many different things happen in 2005, like a 13-0 start by the Indianapolis Colts and the first playoff loss by the Patriots in the Bill Belichick Era; but among all of the events that transpired during the season there were none more important than the multiple successes of African Americans as Head Coaches. Of the six coaches receiving votes for Coach of the Year, three of them were African Americans, including coach Lovie Smith of the Chicago Bears, the winner of 2005's Coach of the Year award. These coaches have not only transformed the images and records of their teams. but have also transformed the image of African-American coaches in the NFL. Coach of the Year Lovie Smith took the Chicago Bears from the doldrums of the bottom of the NFL to the peak of the mountaintop. The Bears completely reversed their record from last year as they went from 5-11 to 11-5. Lovie remade the Bears from doormats to contenders in only his second season as Head Coach. The Bears captured home field advantage in the playoffs but lost to the Carolina Panthers in the divisional round. Smith received 24-and-a-haf of the votes out of 50 in the vote for Coach of the Year. Tony Dungy has been an accomplished coach for an extensive time. He took the Tampa Bay Buccaneers to the playoffs six straight years. After taking over the Indianapolis Colts, Dungy tumed a team that was an offensive juggernaut, but lacked an equally impressive defensive line, into an offensive juggernaut that possessed one of the best defenses in the league. The Colts started off 13-0 this year before finishing 14-2 and gaining a home-field advantage in the playoffs. Dungy lost his son to suicide along the way but persevered and finished the season. The Colts lost in the divisional round also as the Pittsburgh Steelers overcame them to advance to the conference championships. Dungy received 20-and-a-half votes and finished second in the race for Coach of the Year. Marvin Lewis is the third of the African-American coaches that really changed football this year. Lewis coaches the Cincinnati Bengals, who perennially have been called the worst football franchise prior to Lewis. Lewis turned the Bengals into competitors immediately upon arrival and in his third year, led the Bengals to the playoffs for the first time in 15 years. Lewis took the Bengals from trash to treasure as he turned the team into an opportunistic defensive squad and an offensive juggernaut. The Bengals lost in the first round of the playoffs to the Pittsburgh Steelers after their starting quarterback was injured on the third play of the game. Lewis only received one vote for Coach of the Year but his importance to Cincinnati's tumaround goes far beyond one vote. These three men represent pride, integrity, and winning. They have turned around their franchises and coached three of the best teams in the NFL this season. More importantly they have turned around the stereotype of African-American coaches in the NFL. Smith, Dungy, and Lewis have increased the opportunities available to African-Americans as head coaches, land with more success they will be able to garner increased opportunities for former African-American head coaches. The NFL is a very hard place to get a second chance after one fails. once as a head coach. Records show that African-Americans subjected to failure as head coaches have had an increasingly difficult time trying to find second chances. The continued success of these three coaches will eventually open up those second chances. In the end the biggest thing that Smith, Dungy, and Lewis may be able to achieve is turning the term African- American coaches into just coaches. Once this is achieved, discrimination will truly be departed from coaching positions in the NFL. I'm sure that Lovie Smith, Tony Dungy and Marvin Lewis will look forward to that day. Remembering the successes and contributions of African-American athletes By Sarah Taylor Ryckman + WCnewsmagazine With this NFL season coming to and end soon, and the height of college basketball arriving in March, many sports fans will certainly be talking about some of the most-liked African Americans in all levels of play. With the likes of African American males Sheldon Williams, and Reggie White in the NCAA arena, and names like Tiki Barber, Simeon Rice, Steve Smith and Santana Moss in the NFL, the list of today's top African American male athletes is quite lengthy. Not to mention female athletes such as Serena and Venus Williams, Temeka Johnson and Sheryl Swoopes. However, with the focus of Black History Month in Februaryets take a minute to focus on what was, Because certain athletes endured numerous hardships and trials, others, like the ones listed above, are able to play their respective games to the level in which they are accustomed, Athletes who receive little recognition, such as Althea Gibson, helped pave the way, as it is commonly referred to these days. Gibson, who was the first African American to win a Grand Slam in tennis, winning the French Open, Wimbledon, and the U.S. Open in 1956, 'S7 and 58 respectively, was able to endure an unwelcoming environment during an extremely racist time. Not only was Gibson a pioneer in tennis, but also in golf. After retiring from tennis, she became the first African-American female to play professional gol. Many people would also argue that Carl Lewis is the most talented athlete ever. As an Olympic Gold Medalist in the fong jump as well as in running, Lewis won nine gold medals in over four Olympic Games. But Lewis presence can be felt not only in the win/loss column; he was also a pioneer for the sport, forcing the track and field money makers to share the tremendous international profits they received. While these two athletes were tremendous leaders, pioneers, and athletes, they certainly were not the only two. Athletes such as Muhammad Ali, the most recognizable athlete ever, Jackie Robinson, baseball great, Jim Brown, football pioneer, and Hank Aaron, baseball great, added much to the abilities, respect, and treatment of African Americans in sports to this day. So throughout February, and any other month of the year for that matter, whenever you think about how great an African-American athlete is, remember those before them. The ones who were scomed every day for participating in their sport, yet excelled far beyond any persons expectations.
