What this episode covers
In 1992, Dr. Fitz Hill began his collegiate football coaching career as an assistant coach at the University of Arkansas. In 2001, he became the first Black head football coach at San Jose State University. As he progressed throughout his career, Hill was aware that his story was an uncommon one. Hill recalls thinking that a tipping point had been reached when the NFL implemented the Rooney Rule and made efforts to diversify coaching staff. He hoped that this would be mirrored in collegiate athletics, but it seems that the transformation has yet to take place. Ken Shropshire, CEO of the Global Sport Institute, and Bill Rhoden, writer-at-large for The Undefeated join Fitz Hill on this episode.
