Out of a pool of MILLIONS there was no Black man or woman qualified? Give Blacks a fair shake and watch the results.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4411521521513792998.post-45754688858635605982008-11-06T21:54:00.000-05:002008-11-06T21:54:00.000-05:00I would first like to correct the Mississippi Stat...I would first like to correct the Mississippi State situation, the team is 3-6, not 5-4 and Croom is from the NFL ranks. His problems are too much loyalty and being hard headed. He took the job and said that he was going to run the WCO and nothing else because he knew it, well after 3 3-win seasons, last year going to a bowl game (which was apparently a fluke) and this year's 3-win season so far. His WCO is clearly not working, or he can not recruit the talent needed. Recruits have actually de-commited this season due to the style of play. Croom and Willingham do not have the imagination to be coordinators, much less head coaches, they should be limited to position coaches. Croom's predecessor won at MSU, took them to Championship Game, but according to you a black man can not do that when a white man has? Why the racism?<BR/><BR/>Shannon has done a good job at Miami, but they only play 2 or 3 quality teams a year and most of them are outside the ACC.<BR/><BR/>The bottom line here is why does skin color come up so often? These guys are not qualified to run multi-million dollar programs and are hurting the black American men that are qualified. Pushing the issue to get some color in the college coaching ranks is making the situation worse. All of these open jobs are going to be filled by white men because these institutions took a jump and hired black men and got burned. They have lost millions in supporter money. The only bright spot is Mississippi State can not fire Croom and his staff because they just received raises, they can not afford the buy-out and paying a new coach.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
