111. Playing and coaching require two different sets of abilities

Coaching is mostly mental while playing has extremely difficult physical barriers to entry in playing NFL football. It doesn't matter how smart a player is if he doesn't have the physical ability to measure up, while the reverse is not true in coaching. Black players, due to their physiological differences, have a disproportionate occurrence of the trait that get them past the barrier: the muscle fibers that dictate maximum speed and explosiveness. The occurrence of this genetic trait is the same reason Jamaican sprinters dominate. So I wouldn't expect players to necessarily become coaches considering the natural trait that allowed them to play NFL football has no benefit in coaching.

Also NFL coaches don't always come from NFL players. Many NFL coaches never played in the NFL, some have never played football at all.

The Rooney Rule requiring blacks to get an interview for head coaching positions has been a success. It's not a quota, it's just a rule that forces owners to give blacks a look, not a job. 3 black coaches have gone to the Super Bowl and two have won it since 2003 when the rule was brought in, suggesting that black coaches are just as capable as whites. Not sure about this whole white entitlement stuff, but the rule broke up the old boy networks (IE institutionalized racism).

They don't need to hire black coaches every year, just hire the person who they think will help them win. There are so few positions for coaches in some years that a black hiring may not happen. The turnover is high enough that with the Rooney Rule, qualified black candidates will be considered. Truth is, there is simply too much money at stake and too few competent coaches available for owners to ignore someone with ability, and if they do, their rivals will not.
