So, I experimented with every aspect of coaching a machine pitch team throughout the season. Even though I was constantly tweaking things, we played better than most opposing teams. If any team looked better than us, I focused on closing the gap.

As Jeremi Duru reveals in Advancing the Ball, this unique milestone resulted from the work of a determined group of people whose struggles to expand head coaching opportunities for African Americans ultimately changed the National Football League.
