1. Nepotism in NFL coaching

Sat Feb 6, 2021, 06:36 PM

Feb 2021

I have often wandered about head coaches employing one or more of their family members for assistant coaching jobs. I assume it is a condition for employment for the high profile coaches, but it definitely has a down side. Britt Reid's past behavior is something that would have most likely prevented a person not with a familial connection from having a coaching job in the NFL.

What is even more fascinating is that, for now, I don't see the feeding frenzy you might expect if this had been prior to an event other than the Super Bowl. I suspect the commercial value of the Super Bowl is keeping coverage of the story down.
