I've never met a coach that was uncomfortable with dealing with Black players, McCoy said, because let's just not hide it - most of the players are Black. The NFL is dominated by Black players, and it's a lot of white coaches.
There would be times where I would be in the meeting room with Duce Staley, my running back coach, and he would say, 'Yo,' [and] he would be critiquing me about something I did. But I'm thinking, 'These aren't even your words,' so I would say, 'Where'd you get that at? Why are you telling me this?' because me and him had a great relationship.
Kelly asked cornerback Roc Carmichael to cut his hair to make himself more presentable. We're in the pros! McCoy said. This ain't college... He's uncomfortable with working with Black players. That's a prime example.
