That doesn't sound like a biased study at all...

The article doesn't say, and the actual research is locked away, but they sure put a lot of trust in not conflating stereotypical whiteness with attractiveness. If a white person is non-stereotypically white, that implies they're "different" :thinkingface:

Are you sure you're not the one conflating the two? Non-stereotypical / "different" doesn't necessarily mean less attractive.

It doesn't necessarily, but in general I wonder if its not true.

"In a country where most people are white, most coaches are also white"

Groundbreaking.

How in the hell can this be scientific? The more white you look? What the hell does that even mean?

They actually use paint color swatches from Home Depot to determine their head coaches. And all this time I thought it was based on years of experience.

Is Ecru winning enough? I might have to go with Celestial or Cotton.... Hmmm

It’s as if the hundreds of years of racial oppression that white people used to systematically place themselves at the top has effects down the line.

Does that make them "look more white," though?

How can you be "more white"? Is Mike McCarthy "whiter" than Andy Reid? Who made up these ridiculous titles?

In other science news ...the more Mexican you look the more likely you eat tacos.

Casual evidence…

This kind of evidence allows us to understand if there is an association/correlation between a selected variable and better outcomes. However, it cannot tell us whether that selected variable actually causes the improvement or if other variables (confounding) are responsible.

This is more akin to an opinion/editorial piece then legit science. I see lots of blue cars on the road. Blue must be the most popular colour for cars.

Bet you that's the same type of thing AI would figure out too if you told it to go find the "best" football coach.

From chatgpt.

There are many American football coaches who have achieved a great deal of success and are considered among the best of all time. Some of the most widely recognized coaches in the history of American football include:

Vince Lombardi - Lombardi is widely considered to be one of the greatest coaches in the history of American football. He led the Green Bay Packers to five NFL championships in the 1960s and helped establish a winning culture for the team. Bill Belichick - Belichick has won six Super Bowl titles as the head coach of the New England Patriots and is widely regarded as one of the most successful coaches in NFL history.

Paul Brown - Brown was a pioneering coach who helped establish the modern era of professional football. He is credited with developing many of the tactics and strategies that are still used in the game today.

Tom Landry - Landry coached the Dallas Cowboys for 29 seasons and led the team to two Super Bowl titles. He is widely regarded as one of the most innovative coaches in NFL history. Don Shula - Shula is the winningest coach in NFL history, with 347 victories over his career. He won two Super Bowl titles with the Miami Dolphins and is widely respected for his longevity and consistency.

Ultimately, the best American football coach of all time is a matter of opinion, and different people may have different criteria for what makes a coach great. However, these five coaches are widely recognized as some of the most successful and influential coaches in the history of the sport.
