I feel like I am as accepting of anybody’s culture/gender pronoun/sexuality/race as it gets. But this is getting insane. You cant turn the corner without bumping in to a victim these days. I truly believe that this country has become so soft because our most basic needs are met at birth. Therefore folks begin looking for things to complain about and/or have little to zero resilience when facing actual adversity in life.
I am not sure what this has to do with Tony turning down the opportunity to peruse a HC gig at some of the smaller schools.
I'm friends with Tony and Jeff. Your source is wrong. By the way....... were you even aware that Tony's mom was a white lady?
Damn. Don’t tell them about our meeting. Now we have to change the secret handshake
I am aware! I actually heard Mississippi State offered to make TE half head coach.
This thread is wrong...
Is the off season over yet? Asking for a friend.

What happened in 1619 is called history. We had nothing to do with it. What we should do is learn from it and make things better because of it. With all due respect, I don’t see how this kind of movement is making things better.
I think he is saying there should be quotas
maybe across the board: players, coaches, equipment managers
Statistically speaking, there are a good amount of black coaches out there that aren’t getting the big calls.
I gotcha. Because when I read it, I was thinking, statistically speaking, there are a good amount of white players out there that aren’t getting the chance to play.

Lol, nice I just googled pop breakdown of USA, thought I was grabbing present day
edit: current graph, so I guess we will need to fire/hire people as the years go by
I personally think this is just flawed logic. I say that knowing that racism or whatever discriminatory prejudice someone has is present to some extent in every facet of life, industry, profession, etc. More present in some areas than others.
The interest and desire around football isn’t overwhelmingly African American. If you look across all of football, even all of college football (div 2, 3 etc.) you will find more diversity in teams than those just at the top of Div. 1.
I personally don’t think Tony is that great of an OC, he is good, not great. I have my reasons and they have nothing to do with him as a person. I will say that i am not 100% convinced that Tony calls the games he wants to. Maybe he does, i don’t know, but i wouldn’t be shocked to find out that isn’t quite the case. So maybe he gets a pass on that.
It felt like we won games with scheme more so under Morris than now. We win games now on talent. I just don’t feel like we scheme as well as we could b/c we don’t need that to to win in the ACC. When we get to a point where we need to win on scheme, i feel like we struggle to do it well. (Edit - It is the opposite on defense, no one schemes better than BV)
Just my personal opinion, i think he is likely to make a better HC than OC. Tony does not come across as a super charismatic guy and i think that probably hurts him a little in interviews. He has a great personality but he seems more demure and serious in his style and there is nothing wrong with that, but I think an AD is going to need to be more familiar with him and his body of work to take a chance on him than maybe another candidate who has a more outgoing charismatic personality.

I don't follow coaching enough to know who is the next hot thing. What black coaches in your mind have made a case for a head job, and not been considered?

She still upset about that white coach giving the QB1 job to an undeserving white QB. KB must have done a number on her.
To your point with how little white people there are playing in the NBA, they made up 73.3% of the head coaches...
Exactly, so there should be more white players, correct?
If we have 50% white players and 50% black coaches(forget the hispanics, amirite fellas?) then we should be good.
I disagree. I don’t think there should be more D1 white players just to meet quota.
This sounds like something that racist @Tillman28 would post.
@CU1TruTiger4Life what do you think?
This was the Good Ole Days back in the 80s where you could actually trust the news with Peter Jennings, Tom Brocaw. Take a step back Dan Rather, we weren't talking about you.
So they do discriminate against white ball players in nba?
players turn into coaches. Most coach’s in the NBA and any sport played in the league they are coaching or at a high level. You already know this. So you’re smart enough to know where this is going.
@Superica28 is not going to answer that because it doesn't fit his narrative. There aren't enough black head coaches due to.... racism. However that same racism isn't helping white players for some unknown reason. I guess coaches recruit players to win so no racism there, but those who select head coaches don't care about winning so obviously racism is affecting their decisions.
