The whole black coach issue

[orangepit]

That's all you got out of that post, huh?

Sad.

50 years ago, I would have sat down with a beer and watched a ball game with you, if we'd been around then. And today, I'd do the same. I'll leave it at that.

Then those staffs are the ones that are racist for making a point out of it... GOD, I am SO SICK of the 'race card' being continually throne around..

You hire the best coach/recruiter you can, REGARDLESS of skin color...

I could not care less if another staff is low enough to use those tactics and if they do they are the ones with the problem and frankly they are scumbags for using gutter tactics like that... Not to mention it doesn't reflect very well on the intelligence of players that fall for that crap... Kinda makes them look like racist dumbasses also...

And to the guy who insuated the South hasn't changed.... Really, you can't be serious... Damn, get the **** over it..

Yeah screw diversity on the staff. Lets not have that because that's playing the race card. Lets have all predominantly black players and all white coaches. Stupid.

What needs to change from a coaching standpoint? If I took a guess, I'd say that 20-35 percent of college and NFL coaches are black.

Are you guessing?

No more so than saying that our staff is the smartest because we have the most white guys

Who the hell said that? Other than you just now?

 

[jbeard82]

And all staffs need diversity. Period.

Why is that? It's just a color.

 

[KBVol]

No more racist than saying that black kids don't relate well to white guys.

What? He just said that

 

[Vol8188]

Are you guessing?

The pint being that our nation is aboutb13 percent black, most staffs are well above that.

So why do we "have a long way to go" when it comes to coaching?

 

[darkgable]

I wonder if Alabama should enact legislation that mandates that their prison population must be absolutely racially equal all times.

The short bus is waiting for you outside. Stupid.

 

[KBVol]

It would be the bomb

I see what you did... A little terrorist humor. Haha.

Didn't God create all man equal? Honor, integrity, knowing right from wrong knows not the color of skin

Only humans distinguish the difference

God created ALL men in his image.. It took Sam Colt to even the odds... ;-)

 

[orangepit]

Why is that? It's just a color.

NO YOU JUST A IDIOTlol:

NO YOU JUST A IDIOTlol:

There sure is a lot of irony above.

 

[KBVol]

Why is it that we never hear people say "there are too many black coaches on that staff, they must be racist"

Not politically correct. There are some that say racism is only a one way street. Politics my friend, politics.

It would be easier to have just admitted you didn't get it. But, carry one.

If a lot of good prospects were sons of moonshiners, you can bet most teams would have a moonshiner on staff.

What the hell does that have to do with football. Oh nothing. A poor attempt at humor.

The post I quoted references "kosher", thus the Jewish comment.

There are far more factors in the statistics than just race. It was a joke in reference to that fact.



Should I explain all of my comments to you beforehand, or would you prefer to just keep following me around looking like a tool?

Let me know what works best for you.

Humor seems to work best when one directs comments at people with a sense of humor.

Why do we have predominately black players?

 

[Orange_Crush]

Why do we have predominately black players?

I could understand it in Alabama. 90% of the white guys have been arrested.

You are not talking about diversity when you say you 'need' X number of this skin color coaches on a coaching staff whether or not they are the most qualified... That sounds more like quotas which frankly IS stupid and down right un-American..

Diversity is the big buzz word around now and IMO, has simply become another word that points out our differences, NOT our similarities..

If you want to be all fair about, let's have 'diversity' as you call it ON THE FIELD... Let's see more white guys out there, especially in the NBA... Hell, I'm white and I know that ain't gonna fly. The NBA would suck with a majority of white boys such as myself out there running around... You know what, I'm totally cool with it and it's ok to say it because IT'S TRUE for crying out loud..

You get the best you can find for the opening you have, regardless of race, creed or color.. To do otherwise is a dis-service to all races, creeds and colors.. WHY is this so hard to understand for some?

I could NOT care less what color skin you have, what sex you are or what sexual preference you are.. If I'm a contractor and you are the most qualified applicant I have to say.... build a bridge, I don't care about the other stuff, you are hired.. If your an ******* and work hard at pissing people off, it doesn't matter what race, creed or color you are, you ARE STILL an *******..

Bottom line, 'diversity' as you describe it, sounds like nothing more than quotas, screw that...

Our coaches can all be purple for all I care...just beat bama

 

[jortfreeTN]

Kids do nit care about political agendas or the race of the coaches when they pick their school. Ole Miss pulled a top 10 class before they even offically ended slavery in their state this year.

 

[vol-un-tear]

Diversity is good. We need the best!

 

[rockytop9808]

Someone picking the coaches for their system is going to pick the best guys regardless of color. If those guys are all white then that's the way it is. Forcing diversity screws with the product then leaves everyone with poor opinions and a bad taste in their mouths.
