I think he's implying that Kevin Smith knew he was on the way out.
Maybe, but if that is was he meant it was unclear in the context of the conversation and his use of the unqualified past tense. At every point in Mario's tenure there's been a black coach with local ties on field (except, possibly, from the time Smith was "unofficially gone", if any, to the moment THJ is hired) and several off field.
But, if the poster was aware Kevin Smith is from the Ridge (I assume he knows Smith's black), the post still doesn't make much sense. If Mario addressed these "political concerns" with his first staff, what reason would anyone have to think Mario would suddenly ignore them with this 2.0 version of the staff? The whole post struck me as odd.
