The Racial Issue

Allow me to explain the race issue for the mouthbreathers, who on this site need their hands held on every topic:

The issue is not that they fired the black coach. Everyone knows he deserved to be fired. The issue is that the white coach, who has done worse overall in the same time frame, is for some reason being excused/given a pass when the black coach was crucified.

This is a results business and in year 4 Al Golden is worse than the guy he replaced, but b/c he wears a tie and speaks like a white man, people assume he's smarter/better/more capable.

True. For this reason a lot of people were fooled into thinking Golden was some great football coach. I was fooled untilI watched his team play the first time. He got me with.." Think players not plays". And some other bs quotes but the truth came out on gamedays.
 
The whole race things cool until Miami hires another Randy Shannon. I want Miami to have zero pressure concerning who they hire.
 
While I don't think has anything to do with race. PULL THAT RACE CARD IF IT GETS ***** **** FIRED.

Feel like I'm logging into MSNBC for a daily dose of mob rage with all the social injustice talk.

Is there merit to some of the arguments about race being a factor? Yeah, probably. Doesn't change the fact Shannon needed to go as does Al.

Both coaches fail/ed to get the job done. End of story.

Results not race.

You are failing to see the actual premise though. They didn't fire Randy b/c he was black. They fired him bc they perceived he didn't know what he was doing.

But Al, despite a worse record than Randy after the same amount of time, is for some reason given the benefit of the doubt b/c he "speaks well" and "represents the university".

This isn't about firing Randy, its about not firing the white guy who is no different from Randy.

This is correct.

No it is not. Circumstances are different. Like it or not, Shannon did not deal with an NCAA investigation. We all believe that we were let off fairly easily, and we don't know how much Golden influenced that. It seems fund raising is up and that aspect of the job, Golden seems to excel at. At the end of the day, I want Golden gone because his football philosophy does not fit with UM "natural resources" and thus our team is greatly under-performing. But to say Shannon and Golden are "no different" at the job of HC is myopic. Golden is a ****ty football coach with excellent organizational skills, Shannon sucked at both.

Golden hasn't "dealt" with an NCAA investigation, either. He never could comment, he wasn't part of the NCAA/UM process, and finally - he is to lose 9 scholarships over three years.

Let's see. Between players transferring to get the **** out of here, others pounding drunk girls and getting kicked out, and another plethora of annual problems, Al couldn't fill the roster if he tried. So we won't even FEEL the nine scholarship losses.

But thanks for coming, Mrs. Golden. Nice try.

Golden was in Indianapolis for the NCAA meetings, not sure how much he was involved in testimony or strategy and neither do you. He definitely had to recruit against the threat of sanctions, so yes he did "deal" with an NCAA investigation indirectly and possibly directly. You prove my point that we got off, and neither you nor I know how much influence Golden had on that.

I understand reading comprehension is a skill you have yet to master, but please try to point out where I say Golden is good or should stay. I am pointing out that he is more competent than Radio at the Administration part of the job, so they are not the same. Both are not good HCs and have records to prove that.
