I was watching ESPN's halftime show for a bit of highlights during the Arizona/Arizona St. game, and the conversation shifted to Charlie Strong, and how his kids were trying to play for him. To my surprise, the two analysts (one black and one white) both argued against Strong, saying that he's had the same record the last two years, and asked why his teams weren't very good then, and then said something to the effect of "This is on the coach." Still a small bit of sanity left on ESPN it seems.
If you listen to the majority of the media aka (((journalists))) the agenda/storyline/theme they are sticking to is of a guy hard done by, sports journalism needs a revolution.
They create narratives devoid of reality or common sense. "Top ten recruiting class", "talented team", "deserves more time", "racism", "great coach", "his players love him", "great recruiter"... yet when you compare that to the facts
59 yards total in a game….
Lost 24-0 at Iowa State
Lost to Kansas
Never had a winning season
Has the worst record in school history
Three years of unprecedented failure with "brilliant" and "five star recruiting class's"
He failed and will get $25 million for doing so.
Yet the media are trying to spin this as we should feel sorry for him and hinting at racism.
It would make you despair, as sports reporting is a microcosm of the rest of the media and society, the Charlie Strong narrative is a mirror of the relentless negative coverage say a Donald Trump received
To put it in perspective, Donald trump a businessman who builds golf courses and fires people on TV, has received worse coverage than fidel Castro a communist mass murderer
