I see the irony in this. White coaches have placed white athletes in the back of the bus for atleast 2 decades now. What poetic justice it would be if these same over-weight caste bandits were to be replaced by the same group that they chose to elevate above their own.

I'm surprised that there wasn't a lot of complaining over Turner Gill not getting the Nebraska job. I find it pretty funny that people were complaining about Ole Miss not hiring a Black coach when they hired two Black basketball coaches in a row (Rob Evans and Rod Barnes). I wonder if people consider the school racist for hiring a White coach (Andy Kennedy)? BTW, is Ed Orgeron White? He looks to be Hispanic to me.
I have no problem with Black coaches being hired, but this "racism in the coaching ranks" crap is ridiculous.

The funny thing is that becoming a head coach is a process, that usually takes between 20-30 years to complete. Blacks want to bypass that process and jump to the front of the line. They don't want to put in the years as a Graduate Assistant, then as a low level assistant coach, working their way up to a positional coach, coordinator and finally earning that Head job. There is no requirement to have played the game at a college or pro level, and therefore the hiring pool should reflect the population at large, and not the skewed numbers of the NCAA or NFL. If you remove the Blacks who A.) Didn't graduate High School or B.) Ended up in Prison, which lets just go with the B.) percentage of about 33%, and subtract that from the 12% sliver that they represent of our population, that means about 8% should be Head Coaches in both the NCAA and NFL. At last count, I believe they were 6 of the 119 NCAA D1A jobs or 5% and in the NFL they hold 6 of the 32 jobs or 19% of the jobs. I would be all for them getting 3 more Head Coaching positions at the college level if we can sh!t can 3 of the NFL'ers, because if we are using demographics as a means of hiring, they shouldn't have it both ways.

I don't have any problems with May, as he seems like a decent guy, but this is the stuff that makes me hate ESPN. Don't ever expect Lou Holtz to say anything about it either. That's too bad, because they would have a hard time discrediting him as a racist.

That article didn't even make me mad. In fact, I actually had a good chuckle from it. In fact, I half expected to hear sad violin or piano music while reading it. This guy must have been a major nerd in high school. He probably got beaten up by a lot of white jocks. That more than likely, the reason he identifies with the "plight" of the poor, "downtrodden" black head coach.

As far as I know, Orgeron is just a regular Cajun from South Louisiana. I don't know what his family history is, but there are quite a few people South of I-10 that look like him.
This idiot on ESPN just got done with this rant about how "the White man doesn't want to hire Black head coaches." I've stated before that I don't share many of the views that a lot of you do, but crap like this is the reason why I'm here. The question is: will ESPN do anything about it? We already know the answer to that.
What if a White man went on ESPN and recommended that the NFL install a "Riggins Rule", stating that each NFL team needs to allow at least one White man to try out at running back? He would be fired on the spot!!!! I don't think the guy who said this crap about Black coaches should be fired, because I believe in freedom of speech, even for this jackass, but it would be justifiable if people caused enough of an uproar to at least make him worry about his job security.

"The Riggins Rule",good stuff!,please know this,several years ago,Dan Rooney,owner of the Steelers,and reason for the "Rooney Rule",said,"we want Heinz field to be known as the house that KORDELL built"!when they were artifically trying to elevate Kordell Stewart to position of quaterback,well it took seven years of agony watching his sub-par play,but they wanted a black as leader of the team.All of the fine White players that came before,but they wanted to label the new stadium as one that a non-white built....! Cultural Marxism at it's highest level!

Coaches like Sherman should be counted as black, as he was relentless in making the Packers blacker every year. By the time he left Green Bay, the Pack was down to Favre, a few white o-linemen, and Aaron Kampman (who had to travel the typical white road of "overachieving" in limited play for years at a taboo position before finally being accepted as a starter).
It's difficult to imagine any black coach going more out of his way to recruit and play blacks over any number of more qualified white players at A&M than Mike Sherman. If Bill Clinton can be considered (half-seriously) by blacks and some white liberals as the country's "first black president," then blacks and white liberals should regard just about every I-A and NFL coach as a bruthah.

Sherman was pretty bad. The Packers were coal black and not very good. Of course Favre was fully on board. Even now he would probably prefer to go back to having 20 black guys and him on the field.
He even called some of his terrible all black teams "the best" he had ever played with, which is simply ridiculous.

Louisiana has a significant amount of people that have Spanish heritage that can trace their lineage back to the Spanish colonial rule of the area. The current bungling idiot in the state capitol Blanco can probably trace her lineage to this.Colonel_Reb said:
