Think about this

[OCVol82]

Strong takes TN head coaching job to become TN's first African American HC...breaking down another racial barrier....might sway him....just saying...

 

[Vol4life25]

I am sure the money would sway him more...

What if he turns Louisville, into Chris Petersen's Boise State.

1. Sylvester Croom

lots to sway his money, coaching in the sec, getting out of a job where winning a conference title and bowl game will be his biggest goal ( going undefeated will never get you into a national title game unless you're in one of the big 5.

L'Ville is moving to the ACC I believe. So he will have that opportunity starting next year. Then all he'll have to do is beat FSU, UNC, G-Tech, V-Tech... No tall order really.

He'd be 4th, Kevin Sumlin

 

[YankeeVol]

Money will sway him. That's about it

racial barrier, give me a break. Volnation commandment: thou shalt not be color blind. Everything is race with a lot of you on volnation. Why not judge someone on merit alone.

 

[UTK]

I think he would come here to just be in the SEC.

 

[OrangeByBirth]

I am sick of injecting race into every conversation from football to politics. If he is the most qualified and best choice, his damned skin tone has nothing to do with it at all. Those days are gone.

 

[PJ4VOLS]

5th , counting Franklin at Vandy

Racial barriers? What is this? 1964? He could give a flying flarth about racial barriers. He's from Florida.

I don't think race is a factor in his decision. These threads where race is the focus suck.

because that's what the media tells us everyday.

everyone knows that south=racist. just ask any liberal who's running for office.

 

[rockytopdevil]

Why in the world does race always get brought up into these things?

 

[joevol320]

because knee jerk reactionist post stuff without thinking ahead for 30 seconds.

someone has to bring up race, because it's more of a habit than actual thought.

 

[tnmarktx]

Because mods allow it. They must be racist.

It's a smokescreen.

I'm white as the new-fallen snow... and I agree. I don't care if the guy's skin is pink, if he can coach winners - gett'em... ><>

It ought to be possible to talk about race like grownups. Maybe for most of you it's not. But we're not going to just delete everything about it preemptively.
