East Carolina football hire rates a "B" from BCA

The Black Coaches Association issued report cards Wednesday, handing out grades ranging from "A" to "F" to the 30 Division I-A and I-AA football schools that made coaching changes after the 2004 season.

The organization monitors the hiring of college coaches to gauge the fairness of the hiring process as it relates to considering and hiring blacks.

East Carolina, which last December hired a white head coach, Skip Holtz, received a grade of "B" from the BCA. Holtz replaced John Thompson, who was also white.

Holtz filled three positions with black assistant coaches. Donnie Thompson was named assistant head coach and defensive line coach, Junior Smith was hired as running backs coach, and Marc Yellock was retained as defensive graduate assistant coach.

The BCA assigned the 30 schools which made coaching changes an overall grade as well as specific grades for five components of the hiring process: reasonable time, communication, candidate interviews, search committee, and application to the school's documented affirmative action policy.

The list below groups schools into categories by overall grade and designates the grades assigned for each component, respectively.
