Go Black People! (Well, Black Coaches)

That is a ridiculous and flippant response to a serious answer to a serious question on a very serious topic.

One would hope for more - but I guess I will let your comment speak for you.

Weak.

 

John ... buddy ... you DO make good points ... but you've got to condense the message to get it across.

 

Hmm...I am used to a different way of communicating by words I guess...detail detail and nuance.

To me these are easy/normal to read - but obviously I am missing some of the audience or something..

Well, alright - point taken and something to work on I guess.

Maybe if I split the posts up or something.

I will see what I can do going forward. Thanks for the heads-up SG

 

Now, there's somebody who can take stage direction!

 

""So for example, there are many players, walk-ons etc. that the NFL routinely overlooks because they did not go to this school or that (Romo, etc.) and their pool is limited.

I understand the problem of time/screening the NFL has (too much talent to evaluate & too little time). This is why so many "family legacy"
coaches show up in the NFL (Mora Jr, Shula Jr., etc.) as they are "known quantities.""

So it's narrowed by who you know. At some point, those people just made such a name for themselves that they were automatic knowns or they developed connnections.

How is that process racist? How do you people hire if in that position? Call it the best talent available if you want, but if you have someone you're familiar with and are comfortable with their talent level, that's who you hire.

And within those football networks, the percentages of black coaches are relatively low. If there's 25 percent black coaches in the coaching fraternity and 25 percent are filling those jobs, then there's no racism.

But at the risk of turning this political, dare we say that's the quota system?

 

John - thanks for your thoughtful respone to my question.

 

When it comes to having a serious conversation on race the con man has nothing.
Shotty you have asked very valid questions for which I am sure he has no answers other than to accuse you of being a racist.

 

Now, at the same time, six black head coaches out of 119 I-A football jobs ... that's obscene.

But nobody can accuse the NFL of that anymore.

 

Wait til you get his bill, he charges by the word.

 

How many coaches of Hispanic origin in 1A?

 

I'm sure your post was a thoughtful, well-written response to a legit question. However, as shottie said, you gotta get the word count down. You lost me in your first week ... I'm not gonna take the time to get thru your obscenely long posts until I find I have a reason to.

 

Yes Villarreal, be easy on us for we are but mere journalists who can't comprehend such lengthy posts. Please, next time use more pictures.
