Last night on ESPN, Mark May was bitching about how black coaches never get the good head coaching jobs. Lou Holtz told him that most coaching vacancies occur because the programs are on the decline. Coaches don't typically leave good jobs by choice. It was pretty funny.

I think we're still a few years away from having substantial numbers of black head coaches in CFB. Coaching is an incestuous business, and only now are the numbers of black assistants growing to the point that there'll be a large pool of black candidates with the right connections to land some of these jobs."More crazy people to Provo go than to any other town in the state."

But Rocky is correct. That ND fired him seems to be racially motivated."Socialism is a philosophy of failure, the creed of ignorance and the gospel of envy; its inherent virtue is the equal sharing of misery." - Winston Churchill

The fact that Weis will be back next year does make me think race played at least a part in the firing.Just try it once. One beer or one cigarette or one porno movie won't hurt. - Dallin H. Oaks

Tyrone Willingham should be fairly pissed off right about now.
Moreover, circumstances change. They don't have to reconcile keeping weiss with firing Willingham. What BS.
Washington tried to upstage Notre Dame in being righteous. If you lived here you'd know what I mean. They care more about being righteous than winning. They got their wish. Karma. Meanwhile, Rick Neuheisel got his. He won his lawsuit against Washington and is coaching at UCLA.When a true genius appears, you can know him by this sign: that all the dunces are in a confederacy against him.
