Don't forget affirmative action. Players that can't run a sub 6 second 40 deserve a place on the team right beside the pattersons.

Like many things, original intent gets twisted and treated spitefully. Affirmative action's original intent was to end the blatant discrimination against minorities and women.It got twisted into enrolling and hiring people whether they qualified or not. If serious efforts had been made to correct the sustaining funding, equipment, and other imparities between inner city and white schools, products exiting inner city schools would have been better qualified. Affirmative Action attack the problem without a serious long term plan and made a bad situation worse. Unfortunately, in America, we have a tendency to look for quick fixes. Most real change requires time, patience, genuine effort, and cooperation of all stake holders, and the will to persistence despite resistance of people bigots. Now, don't feel I'm attacking you personally. Every society whether it is America, Congo, China, Russia, England, or whatever has bigots. No country is immune of this sad human trait.
Ask the Tibetans, the Bashkirs, the Armenians, the Scots, and the list goes on.

As for you my friend, I suggest you learn to not throw tired and snide bigot infested insults without a hint of knowledge about the actual history behind what you're insulting. It's like when people throw around the term redneck, they don't really know what they're talking about because they're ignorant of the history of the term. But when fueled by hate, one tends to be blind to a great many things, including their own shortcomings.

I think you're joking but I posted this because I've seen so many charged and insensitive statements on this forum. I think it's polarizing. In today's dangerous world, we Americans are the object of a lot of hatred. We need to stand together as we never have before.

I have always wondered why Grambling doesn't win a National Championship every other year?

Back in the day before integration, Grambling fielded teams that would have beat the USCw, Alabamas, Tennessees, an such of the time. But nobody of that ilk would play them. After integration, Black talent went to where they got greater exposure for being drafted. Plus the elite colleges that began siphoning Black talent made it clear to the elite they were missing out on highly skilled players that made a difefrence between winning and losing. Today, these historically Black schools simply don't attract the talent they did many years ago. Frankly, I wish the Black talent would return to those historically Black schools. Well,why not? Entry requirements are too high. No joke, these schools take their education mission seriously. In some cases they're more stringent than Vanderbilt.

Looking at the Butch Jones staff at Cincinnati, there was only one minority position coach on the staff. If he brings in the majority of his Cincinnati staff, there will be only 1 minority position coach UT's staff. Most SEC coaching staffs have at least 3 or 4 minority coaches on their staffs. How effective will the recruiting be with only 1 minority coach on staff?

Needs to add Tee Martin to this staff.

I couldnt give a shlt if he has blacks on the staff or not.

If you want racial quotas on the staff, I want racial quotas on the team. There aren't near enough whites on the team....blacks dominate the team makeup, above the percentage of blacks in the population.

And where are the asians on the team? The indians? The latinos?

If you want racial quotas for blacks, I want racial quotas for every other ethnic group in the world.

Mmmmkay?

60-70 black players on the team.
