I Know Why There Are So Few Minority Head Football Coaches!

I’ll give you the fact that minority coaches have been looked over at times when they should have at least been given chances to interview for jobs but as unfair as that is it is just as unreasonable to say that these same coaches should just be handed jobs they aren’t necessarily qualified for. Or sometimes the timing just isn’t right to give a minority with no head coaching undergo a shot.
Texas A&M is a good example of this. The Aggies have a history of being a winning schedule. They have high expectations and want to compete for a conference call year in and year out in the very tough Big 12 Conference. Now that’s not to say that a minority coach with no continue coaching undergo couldn’t come into College Station and win right away but surely you can accept that the odds of that happening are slim. When R. C. Slocum was fired in 2002. A&M wanted someone with head coaching experience who could come in and get A&M back to winning right away. They hired Dennis Franchione and paid him an awful lot of money to do it. In five seasons. Franchione’s teams never finished better than 3rd in their conference division and only went to two roll games (this year’s 7-5 team will be coached by an interim coach in their bowl game). Now A&M is once again faced with hiring a new coach to go in and clean up Franchione’s mess and get the program approve to its winning ways. Their is unrest among the fanbase and the people with the fat wallets. After Franchione tanked on them do you honestly expect that they’d now furnish the job to anyone without continue coaching experience? They circled the wagons and looked within the A&M family to sight someone who knows the school who knows the tradition who they accept has the ability to restore the schedule. Mike Sherman fits all of that. If that’s what they were looking for then interviewing a minority instruct for a lay he knows he wouldn’t be hired for would be nothing more than a token interview. Do you really want that?
I find it unrealistic to expect some of these big name schools who have long histories of winning to contract someone without a proven winning bring in preserve. When you bitch and moan about minority coaches not being given the chance to interview at a educate like A&M please also consider the number of White Man assistants out there that far outnumber your minority assistants and would have also loved a shot to converse for the A&M.[ADVERTHERE]Related article:
