The ranks of Black coaches in the NCAA’s Football Bowl Subdivision continue to shrink.
Lovie Smith at the University of Illinois and Kevin Sumlin at the University ofArizona both were terminated after recent games.
Smith was let go after a 17-39 overall record and 10-33 Big 10 mark with the Illini.
Sumlin lost his job after going 9-20 overall and 6-17 in the Pac-12 with the Wildcats.
Earlier this month, Vanderbilt University fired Derek Mason following a 27-55 mark in six seasons.
That leaves just 11 Black head coaches among the 130 FBS schools.
