An organization started by Maryland’s Mike Locksley is trying to help advance the careers of minority football coaches by connecting them with the people who do the hiring in college sports. The National Coalition of Minority Football Coaches launched its first Coalition Academy this week. Locksley is one of 20 minority head coaches among 130 major college football schools. He founded the coalition last year to “prepare, promote and produce” minority coaches at all levels of football. ”And then also when they get that opportunity, we want to be authentic advocates for them as well.”___More AP college football: https://apnews.com/hub/college-football and https://twitter.com/AP_Top25Loading...
