SI Insider: How Black Coaches Across the Country are Coming Together

Black coaches are coming together, but could they be doing it in public?

"West Coast Zoom Clinics" have been happening across the country when it comes to football. But the topic is not the sport itself but instead the calls are a forum for hundreds of minority coaches from high school to the NFL to all levels of college to discuss improving the lives of professional black coaches. Sports Illustrated was granted access to one of these calls and Senior Writer Pat Forde weighed in on what he learned.
