The coaching search should look at all candidates regardless of race. In fact, if race is even a small factor in the search, then Snyder and Allen are doing a disservice to the franchise. Interview the best candidates, and hire based on merits and merits alone.

He is trying to imply that minority coaches aren't being "mined" at all compared to finding needle in the haystack among Caucasian candidates.
NFL owners are very unoriginal and rarely take risks, They've been picking apart coaching trees for decades.
during the 80's and 90's, every owner had to have a coach from the Bill Walsh coaching tree.
Then Parcells hit it big and they wanted Parcells guys. In the last decade it was Belichick guys and they bombed in the NFL and college.
There isn't a dominant system in the NFL anymore, it seems like everyone has a watered down form of the west coast offense.
Snyder gambled when he hired Spurrier and Zorn. They both didn't have a proven NFL background.
Then he plays it ultra safe with Shanahan and it completely back fires.
I want fresh blood in here. I want a guy that isn't scared to move away from the norm. Hopefully Snyder can find the next innovator.
