Ron Rivera is the 2nd head football coach of Hispanic heritage to coach the super bowl

Tom Flores was the first NFL Head Coach of Hispanic heritage to lead his team in the Super Bowl when he was with the Raiders
Ron Rivera is the 2nd when the Panthers take on the Broncos in Super Bowl 50

Records of PoC who have been head coaches in the Super Bowl:

Flores is 2-0 (Raiders vs Eagles and vs Washington)
Dungy 1-0 (Bears - I was so sad)
Tomlin 1-1 (Win against Arizona. Loss to Green Bay)
L. Smith 0-1 (Lost to a Dungy coached team - I was so Sad)

I live in Charlotte, and there was an article last week in our paper - he has no interest in being labeled as "an Hispanic coach."

Charlotte Observer is the paper if you want to look it up.
