Stunning. Brave. These are just two of the words I use to describe Purdue's hiring of Illinois defensive coordinator Ryan Walters, who is black. In a world where 60% of television commercial actors and 75% of college football players are black, it is only appropriate that public universities staff their appointments with blacks. The United States of America, much like McDonalds, is "365 Black," which is to say, all black, all the time. It is a cause for great celebration.
Are there concerns about hiring a defensive coordinator to take the reins at a pass-happy program? Only if you are a vile, sadistic RACIST.
