Black Monday, which is the day that the NFL's head coaches are fired following the regular season in January, will see the two most successful offensive coordinators lose their jobs.

As the NFL's black coaches are in dire straits, this is certain to be Kellen Moore, Eric Bieniemy and Byron Leftwich.
Moore is the name you're going to hear next January when people interview for head coaches, ESPN NFL Insider Dan Graziano stated about Moore on a recent episode.
The segment's chyron displayed at the bottom of screen reads, Chances Kellen Moore has been offered the position as head coach in the NFL.
Jeff Saturday, an NFL analyst, added that Kellen Moores play calling with the zone scheme and the various schemes they have for their offensive line, hes putting control of the game in the hands the quarterback, which is exactly what you want when you're on the field.
Moore is not the problem. Moore is the problem.
Moore's name may sound familiar because he was Boise State's quarterback during their peak time of national attention under Chris Petersen. Moore, who is 33 years old, has proven why he's destined for a position as Dallas Cowboys' offensive coordinator. The average offense for the league was 431.5 yards per contest in 2019. Dallas was the best offense of the year. They fell to 14th in 2020 with Dak Prescott injured and finishing at 371.8 yards per game. The Cowboys rank fifth this season with 416.7 yards per week through their first three games. Moore has been a great offensive coordinator. Moore is good enough to be promoted to the top of the offensive line.

Hell no.
His offense has not won a playoff match, let alone qualified for postseason play. Do you know who's offense has won a playoff game?

Eric Bieniemy, Byron Leftwich were the Super Bowl champs. The Black OCs met last year in Big Game. Bieniemy's second straight trip with the Chiefs, and Leftwich's first with Bucs.
Eric is a Chiefs head coach Andy Reid stated in January 2020. He would be a tremendous player. Although I don't know the name of the team, there is a team that could really benefit from him. He is the leader of men and you won't find anyone better in that group. He is also a sharp offensive thinker. I am a huge fan. I don't want him to go, but there is a chance that he does.

Bieniemy was interviewed at least thirteen times in the past few years, but he has not been offered a job as a head coach. However, he is a key part of the most explosive offense in the game.
Leftwich, who spent two seasons as a Cardinals quarterback coach, is now in his third season as an offensive coordinator with the Bucs. He has transformed from being a man who played against Tom Brady as a quarterback to coaching him.

Bruce Arians, the Bucs' head coach, stated that Byron did not get at least an interview earlier in the year. I feel that I deserve way too much credit for the job he did, and Tom Brady deserves it for the great job that Byron did. Next year, people will be able to see that he took Jameis Winston, broke every single record, passing and scoring, and now Tom has both.
It looks like there may be job openings in Chicago (Matt Nagy), and Jacksonville (Urban Meyer). By Black Monday, it will be interesting to see who coordinators get the most attention. Moore is already being mentioned after Week 3.

The NFL's lack of diversity in its head coaches has been a problem every year. Some white fans and owners get tired of hearing about it, while Black coaches are exhausted from being passed on or brought in for fake interviews so they can claim that they have observed the Rooney Rule, which has been broken for many years.
This isn't a Black thing.
Eugene Chung claimed that in May, he was told by the NFL that he wasn't part of the correct minority.

Chung explained to me that it was said to me, "Well, you're not a minority." I was like, Wait! When I last checked, I saw that I was in the minority when I looked into the mirror and brushed teeth.
The league investigated the matter to save face but was unable to find any evidence that would hold the responsible party accountable for their lack of respect for anyone other than a white man who wants to coach in the NFL.

We were unable, after multiple discussions with Mr. Chung's representative, to confirm the exact statement made or the circumstances under which it was made. The league issued a statement.

These conversations and the conversation on ESPN are what make me believe Moore will be the most popular name in the market within a few months. Bieniemy, Leftwich and others will still be wearing their Super Bowl rings in their pants. For those who think Moore's rise in the NBA is like that of Steve Nashs, he was named the Brooklyn Nets' head coach in 2020. This comes after many felt that he had skipped a lot of Black coaches. Nash, an eight-time NBA All-Star who won back-to-back MVPs and is now in the Hall of Fame, was a eight-time NBA All-Star. Moore completed 61 passes during his NFL career. He threw more interceptions (64) than touchdowns (4).
This will result in the race being decided before it starts due to the racism of the NFL owners and GMs and the league's inability to hold them responsible for their discriminatory hiring practices. This movie has been seen before. The good guy doesn't win in the end. The white one wins.
