not a good look at all for the league amidst the Flores lawsuit.

Really though what top candidates happened to be black? Leftwich is in the same predicament than Kellen Moore in that he simply hasn't coached long enough. Same with Jerod Mayo. All the other black candidates for the most part were retreads that didn't fare well in their last stops and Bieniemy may never get a head coach job. I can't fault any owner for hiring what was deemed the best coach of their interviews regardless of color.

Both parties agreed that it wasn't going to work out as Harbaugh wants too much money and control. It's why the Raiders passed on him after initial interest.
