detroit free press on Michigan’s new football coach

“Rodriguez is widely considered one of two Hispanic coaches in Division I-A football.”

It must be nice to be widely considered Hispanic. Maybe he’s widely considered a coach in Division I-A football? As far as I can tell there is no way to parse this sentence that isn’t ridiculous unless one of Hispanic or coach or Division I-A are fuzzy categories whose memberships are contentions.
