The reporter raised the question because Tomlin is black, as well.<\/p>\n<p>But Bowles rejected the parsing of the matchup along racial lines. He noted that he has a good relationship with Tomlin but added, \u201cWe don\u2019t look at what color we are when we coach against each other. We just know each other.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"a8d-pre\">WATCH:<\/p>\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Todd Bowles on coaching against Mike Tomlin this Sunday: &#8220;I don&#8217;t think it&#8217;s a big deal\u2026we don&#8217;t look at color.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Bowles on representation in coaching: &#8220;I think the minute you guys stop making a big deal about it, everybody else will as well.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>*Questions included for context <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/JtehXqqKcW\">pic.twitter.com\/JtehXqqKcW<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 David Schiele WTSP (@Deacon_Schiele) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Deacon_Schiele\/status\/1580300126815662085?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">October 12, 2022<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Bowles\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.espn.com\/nfl\/story\/_\/id\/34785264\/bucs-todd-bowles-downplays-attention-coaching-matchup-steelers-mike-tomlin\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">added<\/a>, \u201cI have a lot of very good white friends that coach in this league as well, and I don\u2019t think it\u2019s a big deal as far as us coaching against each other; I think it\u2019s normal. Wilks got an opportunity to do a good job. Hopefully he does it. And we coach ball, we don\u2019t look at color.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Steve Wilks, who recently became the NFL\u2019s third black head coach, was mentioned because he was recently hired to lead the Carolina Panthers.<\/p>\n<p class=\"a8d-pre\">But the left-wing press wasn\u2019t done trying to force a racial component into the press conference. Much to Bowles\u2019 annoyance, another reporter ridiculously asked if he thinks it is good for the players to see an NFL coach who \u201clooks like them\u201d and possibly \u201cgrew up like them.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Bowles was not happy with the question at all.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWell, when you say, \u2018They see you guys,\u2019 and \u2018look like them and grew up like them,\u2019 it means that we\u2019re oddballs to begin with,\u201d Bowles replied a bit impatiently. \u201cI think the minute you guys stop making a big deal about it, everybody else will as well.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Follow Warner Todd Huston on Facebook at: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/Warner.Todd.Huston\">facebook.com\/Warner.Todd.Huston<\/a>, or Truth Social <a href=\"https:\/\/truthsocial.com\/@WarnerToddHuston\">@WarnerToddHuston<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On Wednesday, Buccaneers head coach Todd Bowles, who is black, quickly shot down the attempt of several left-wing reporters to inject race into questions about his relationships with his players and coaches.
