Reply to: Differences in the Success of NFL Coaches by Race

Malone, Couch, and Barrett argue that a broader analysis of fired coaches, including adding in partial season fires, considering a wider range of causes of firing, and analyzing rehiring makes the results reported by Madden ‘‘disappear.’’ We show that Malone et al. have analyzed inaccurate data. When the data used by Malone et al. are corrected and their speculations tested empirically, Madden’s conclusion that analyses of all employment decisions involving head coaches between 1990 and 2002 are consistent with discrimination against African Americans is supported.

Key Words: racial discrimination • professional football • coaching
