注意到从1989年到2002年，只有五名非洲裔美国人教练被雇用来领导国家橄榄球联盟（NFL）球队，Madden（J of Sports Econ，5（1）：6-19 2004）发现，由非洲裔美国人在NFL执教的球队在常规赛中表现优于他们的对手，但在季后赛中明显低于平均水平。这项分析，包括9名非洲裔美国教练的数据，并延伸到2007年，再次证实了马登的发现，非洲裔美国主教练在常规赛中表现优于他们的对手，但也发现非洲裔美国教练不再遭受季后赛表现不佳。使用固定效应汇总横截面时间序列模型，该分析证实，在其他条件相同的情况下，拥有非洲裔美国人主教练的球队在常规赛中可以获得比同龄人更多的胜利。然而，有一些证据表明，随着非洲裔美国人教练人才库的减少，他们的非凡表现可能会略有倒退。季后赛分析表明，当控制种子，组织力量和常规赛胜利时，非洲裔美国教练的表现与他们的同行相同。
Noting that only five African American coaches had been hired to lead National Football League (NFL) teams from 1989–2002, Madden (J of Sports Econ, 5(1):6–19 2004) found that teams coached by African Americans in the NFL outperformed their counterparts in the regular season but were significantly below average in the playoffs. This analysis, with data that includes nine African American coaches and extends through 2007, reconfirms Madden’s finding that African American head coaches outperform their rivals in the regular season, but also finds that African American coaches no longer suffer from poor playoff performance. Using fixed effects pooled cross section time series models, this analysis confirms that teams with African American head coaches can expect more wins in the regular season than their peers, other things equal. However, there is some evidence that as the pool of African American coaching talent diminishes from additional hires their extraordinary performance may be slightly regressing. The playoff analysis shows that that when controlling for seeding, organizational strength and regular season wins, African American coaches perform at the same level as their counterparts.
