虽然有很多关于职业体育中种族歧视的分析，但没有一个分析过足球教练。对1990年至2002年间由非洲裔美国人和白人教练执教的国家橄榄球联盟（NFL）球队的常规赛胜率和进入季后赛的情况进行的分析表明，非洲裔美国人教练更成功。这些分析对整个赛季的记录、第一年的记录和教练非自愿离职的记录进行了种族比较。有证据表明，聘请非裔美国教练的球队比聘请白人教练的球队表现更好。考虑团队质量效应的分析也发现，非裔美国人的表现明显更好。然而，非裔美国教练在季后赛中取得的成功并不大。总的来说，结果与非裔美国教练在NFL获得工作时被要求达到更高的标准是一致的。
Although there have been numerous analyses of racial discrimination in professional sports, none have analysed football coaching. Analyses of the regular season win records, and of making the playoffs, for National Football League (NFL) teams coached by both African Americans and Whites between 1990 and 2002 show that African American coaches were more successful. The analyses make racial comparisons for overall season records, records in the first year, and records in the year of an involuntary departure for the coach. There is evidence that teams that hire African American coaches are better than those that hire White coaches. Analyses that consider team quality effects also find significantly better performance by African Americans. African American coaches have been insignificantly less successful in the playoffs, however. Overall, the results are consistent with African American coaches being held to higher standards to get their jobs in the NFL.
