A group representing and advocating for minority coaches in college sports said Wednesday it was concerned that the football hiring season will pass without a single minority candidate filling an open position.The National Association for Coaching Equity and Development said colleges are not adhering to a pledge signed to address the dwindling numbers of minorities hired for coaching jobs.So far it appears that schools are not complying with their commitment, especially those at the highest level, NAFCED executive director Merritt Norvell said in a statement issued to The Associated Press. Its impossible for minority candidates to even get into the hiring process if there is no formal search for qualified candidates or a diversified pool of final candidates.The most recent racial and gender report card published in April by the Institute for Diversity and Ethics in Sport said that nearly 88 percent of coaches in the FBS schools were white. The number of minorities coaching football in the 2015 season went up from 14 to 16, but two of those men -- Charlie Strong at Texas and Darrell Hazell at Purdue -- were fired this season.Four of the 12 openings at FBS schools through Wednesday have been filled so far this season, all by white men.Norvell said some schools are circumventing laws in place that require them to consider minority candidates by labeling the positions as emergency hires.The end result is that at the highest levels of this business, presidents and athletics directors seem to have lost control of the coach search process to agents, search firms, and big money boosters, Norvell said. We are just asking colleges and universities to do what they have led the public to believe they have been doing all along, but the numbers dont illustrate that they have.Among the concerns expressed often by NAFCED and Dr. Richard Lapchick, who has long lobbied for increased coaching opportunities for women and people of color, is the overwhelming number of white men at the highest positions at NCAA schools. For the 2016-17 academic year, 88.3 percent of FBS school presidents, 85.9 percent of athletics directors, 89.4 percent of faculty athletics representatives and 100 percent of conference commissioners were white, according to a TIDES report issued in November.College sport remains behind professional sports regarding opportunities for women and people of color for the top jobs, Lapchick said.The poor hiring record led the NCAA to draft the Pledge to Promoting Diversity and Gender Equity in Intercollegiate Athletics in September. The college presidents who signed the pledge promised to strive to identify, recruit and interview individuals from diverse backgrounds in an effort to increase their representation and retention as commissioners, athletics directors, coaches and other leaders in athletics.Baylor (open), Florida Atlantic (open), LSU (hired Ed Orgeron), Nevada (open), Oregon (open), Purdue (open), San Jose State (open) and Texas (hired Tom Herman) all signed the pledge, which is not a binding document.The presidents must take control back and honor their pledge to make sure that all qualified candidates at least have a fair opportunity to compete for employment opportunities at their institutions, Norvell said. http://www.jetsrookiestore.com/Jets-Chandler-Catanzaro-Jersey/ .Y. -- Jayna Hefford scored the winning goal Friday as Canada survived a scare with a 4-3 win over Sweden at the Four Nations womens hockey tournament. http://www.jetsrookiestore.com/Jets-Brian-Winters-Jersey/ .

Adam Cooney has announced his retirement, joining unwanted yet esteemed company in winning the AFLs highest individual honour but not a premiership.The Essendon midfielder said on Tuesday the 2016 season would be his last, fittingly confirming his future before a milestone match against former club Western Bulldogs.Cooney was taken with pick No.1 in the 2003 draft and won the 2008 Brownlow medal.But a degenerative knee injury meant he never hit those highs again, even after seeking a fresh start with the Bombers in 2014.Preliminary final losses in 2008 and 2009 are the closest Cooney came to pocketing a premiership medallion.Pretty unsatisfied. Its bittersweet I suppose, Cooney said on the eve of his 250th match.Early on when I won the Brownlow I was only 22 and I injured my knee, I probably wasnt able to play the sort of footy that I wanted to after that.You play footy to win a premiership. Its a little bit disappointing to not be able to play in a premiership.Cooney featured in 219 games for the Bulldogs and at his best was one of the leagues most influential players, burning sides with his speed and skill.The 30-year-old remains close with many former teammates at Whitten Oval.It seems a fitting tribute to be able to play against the Dogs this week to celebrate not only my 250-game milestone but also celebrate the carreer I have enjoyed at both clubs, he said.ddddddddddddIm looking forward to the opportunity to also say thank you to the fans from both clubs who have showed me enormous support.Bulldogs coach Luke Beveridge was full of respect for Cooney, saying the on-baller had enjoyed a great career.Well acknowledge that after the game and send him out on a good note, Beveridge said.Cooney contemplated returning for the 2017 season but recent performances convinced him otherwise.Halfway through this year I was actually playing some OK footy and was weighing up whether to go on, he said.But towards the end of the season I probably started to slow down. It would probably have been a little bit selfish of me to decide that I wanted to play on.Bombers coach John Worsfold lauded Cooneys leadership during the clubs difficult 2016 campaign, when 12 senior players have been suspended.Adams experience, leadership and team care has been really vital, Worsfold said.ADAM COONEYS AFL CAREER* Draft history: Pick No.1, 2003 National Draft* AFL Debut: Round 1, 2004 against West Coast at Etihad Stadium* Bombers Debut: Round 1, 2015 against Sydney at ANZ Stadium* AFL Games: 249* Brownlow Medal: 2008* All Australian: 2008.
