Double standard for Black NFL coaches. Jerod Mayo's firing shows it. [View all]

Rob Gronkowski, a former Patriots star-turned-TV analyst, was apoplectic.
“I mean, he never had the chance to develop as a head coach. He was just a rookie himself in that department, and if you judge a coach in their first year, that’s really not appropriate,” Gronkowski said, turning to former Dallas Cowboys head coach Jimmy Johnson and pointing out that Johnson won only one game in his first year but ultimately won two Super Bowls during his five years with the team."
