Will There Be Two Black Heads Coaches in Superbowl XL?

I believe this year there will be at least one black Head Coach leading his team into Superbowl XL. Then again with the performance of the Chicago Bears lately; do not count Head Coach Lovie Smith's team out. This will be a monumental victory for minorities, and should open more doors to coaching opportunities both in college and the NFL.

The Indianapolis Colts lost to the Seattle Seahawks this past weekend; however, the Colts remain the number team to beat in the AFC. They should be healthy in three weeks and hopefully Head Coach Tony Dungy will back with his squad, despite today burying his oldest son, James Dungy. In my opinion, the Indianapolis Colts have been the most dominating team in the NFL this season.

Yet there is a team in Cincinnati, Oh, which would love to avenge a early season loss to the Indianapolis Colts. Long time, NFL Assistant Coach Marvin Lewis finally has a Head Coaching job with the Cincinnati Bengals, and he has made the most of the opportunity. The Bengals may be the Colts biggest threat in the AFC Playoffs; besides the Pittsburgh Steelers and New England Patriots.

Everyone says defense wins championships, and the African-American Head Coach of the Chicago Bears, Lovie Smith's team has allowed the fewest points in the NFL this season. Remember Smith won a Superbowl Ring as an Assistant Coach of the St. Louis Rams in Superbowl XXIV versus the Tennessee Titans.

I am pretty confident that a black Head Coach will be representing the AFC team in this year's Superbowl. Honestly, I believe the Colts will get it done for Tony Dungy. That team is going to rally behind their coach during the NFL Playoffs and finally QB Peyton Manning will prove the naysayers wrong by winning the big game. The Chicago Bears have a forty percent chance of making the Superbowl, in my opinion. It will be tough for Lovie Smith's team to get past the red hot Seattle Seahawks, but it is not an an impossible task for the number number defense.
