So do Leonard, Harden, and Westbrooke
after leading them to the Western Conf finals last year.
I did not hear you point that out last year.
after leading the Cleveland Cavs to their first ever championship in 2016. you conveniently forgot to mention that back in 2016 didn't you?
and leading the Clippers to their only Conference Finals in franchise history back in 2021.
you somehow left that out back in Twenty Twenty One.

Those Guys Are Not Head Coaches.

betting against him in 2008 as celtics coach would have ruined someone.
same with 2010 when they made another run to finals and lost in G7 to the kobe led and phil led HOF laker team.
without star player The Greek Freak the entire series.

What sport we talking about? I thought the NBA season was over long ago?
The only sport going on right now is baseball.

blacks dominating.
oh and your HC of the raiiiidddaaahhhsss?
antonio pierce will be great. give him 3 years.
i watched him play LB at arizona.
he is a winner.

I'd bet a lot that the raiders never have a winning season under Pierce and no it's not because he's black.

You'd have lost that bet last year.

Half a season doesn't count sir (that's kind of like counting Lebron's championship during the holdout season and I know we don't count that lol). That new coach mid season thing always brings an energy to a team that has been struggling. Now he gets to do it from scratch with a mediocre Gardner Minshew to lead the ship. GL but I see a 5 win team.

Technically I wouldnt have lost as the raiders didnt have a winning season though they were a game over 500 under pierce.

Just saying the Raiders were 5-4 under Pierce last year. That seemed to fit your criteria.
Either way, I like him. Raiders looked much better when he was given control.....
I don't think that was an accident. Yep, weak QB room, not going to be easy moving forward.

jews go by the mother
never see any actual data in this thread.....this obviously isnt ATS its SU....from an article in 2022
Out of morbid curiosity, I tabulated ATS data (1988-2023) using covers.com (regular season only).
There have been 25 blacks who have been NFL head coaches up to 2023 (plus one in 1921+), but 6 with less than 1 season.
Out of the 19 with a season or more, 8 have winning ATS records (>50%), just four (Tony Dungy, Brian Flores, Demeco Ryans, Mike Singletary) with profitable ATS (>52.38%), and the overall record (all 25) is 1084-1090-72 ATS (49.86%).
Five coaches have >= 12 seasons (Total of 1201 games, more than half of all games), T. Dungy, M. Tomlin. M. Lewis, D. Green, L. Smith. First 3 were 51.7% to 52.7% ATS, last 2 around 48.4% ATS.
In conclusion, no long-term statistical advantage seems to exist. As usual need to be selective in evaluating coaching.
In addition, Pierce was 7-1-1 ATS.

This has to be a fucking bummer for the meatheads whoe bet this blindly.

I'm probably giving too much credit but pretty sure the thread is designed to troll others.....
Hopefully no one is actually stupid enough to think there's any future in blindly fading black coaches.
And if it did somehow have any merit it would be baked into the line long before now.
The lure of the internet is people without any sack can say stupid things without paying a price for it.
We move on.

Almost did a Miami. Passed on first down instead of taking 3 knees. SD took over with 38 sec vs a few sec
