Title: Tony Dungy thinks K-State is racist?

To channel my inner Keith Olbermann, NBC, how dare you. How dare you have Bob Costas, who has never uttered a word he wasn’t smugly proud of, do some voiced-over montage and show Danny Hope, Dabo Swinney, and Bill Snyder to suggest that Purdue, Clemson, and Kansas State, respectively, were to blame for the lack of minorities in head coaching jobs. Again, if you really believe that those schools were racist in their hiring practices, then prove it, say it, and don’t suggest it. And Dungy, how dare you not apologize to Kansas State. Now.

Kansas State was the only school that Dungy mentioned by name as he told an anecdote about former defensive coordinator, Raheem Morris, the current Tampa Bay head coach, leaving for the pros because he didn’t think he could get a head coaching job in college. First of all, what?! Second, report the whole story. Dungy, failed to point out that Kansas State sued Morris for leaving early to take an assistant coaching job at Tampa Bay; Kansas State wanted Morris to stay. And third, KANSAS STATE HIRED RON PRINCE. Was Prince fired because he’s an African-American? No, he was fired because he was bad at coaching football, but in the world of this NBC piece, Kansas State is now part of the problem because Bill Snyder, only a legend at the school and the architect of one of the greatest turnarounds in college football history, wanted to come back to try to revive the program. Now, the average NFL fan who watched this piece, and has no idea who Prince is, has no choice to put a mental checkmark next to Kansas State football.

Don't worry, if it was on NBC there's a good chance nobody saw it.

I'm sure Dungy will call up Keitzman and ask to apologize to kstate fans tomorrow.

Raheem left college football because he was working for an assclown who was in over his head and because his wife refused to step foot into Kansas.   Also he got offered a pretty sweet gig with the Bucs and it obviously paid off for him.   KSU is so racist we hired Raheem to be DC and paid him 250K when he was 29 and his highest level of experience was assistant DB coach.

Probably has more to do with the blatant stupidity of the piece he was critiquing.

most people have overlooked the fact that we had a black HC, DC, and OC on the same staff..... seriously, how many 1A teams can, or have been able to say the same???

Throw in a Cuban basketball coach with a black wife. We have to make our state look good after the reputation it got from those assclowns down the river

no one actually saw it, but we're still pretty sure we should be angry.

Wow this really bothers me.  One of the most ridiculous things I've seen.  I mean how do you not do any kind of research or anything?  Also I guess I didn't realize how pretigeous the KSU DC position was.  But yes definitely makes me angry and I wish the school would get involved and Morris too and set Dungy  :flush: straight.

Exactly, if you don't do any research on the issue don't talk like you are an authority. The other sad aspect - NBC, in their infinite wisdom, probably thought Dungy knew all about these sorts of issues because he is (allegedly) a black guy. So frack you NBC for your racist assumptions and frack you Tony Dungy for your misinformed opinion.

Why aren't people taking every school in the SEC to task, except Miss St.? So, Dan Mullen got the job because he is white and Sly Croom should have been kept? Really what Prince did here was not much better than what Croom did in Starkville.

The bottom line is donors, and Prince lost them. There are racial issues that need dealt with, but blaming the schools that hire black coaches is not productive.

Good one Tony.  The Bucs aren't racist and K-State is.  Well we went 6-6 and Tampa is 1-11.  Sorry, but I'll take the white guy.

Name another school where the DC left for the NFL to become a D-backs coach and then became the Head Coach?

What's that got to do with the price of eggs in China?   He was a coach here, where as you well noticed, his OC and HC were also of the same persuasion.  Name another D1 school at the time with that.  And then tell me how we were not being fair to minorities as compared to every other school.   tia, I'm outta here for the day!

JFC he was just using an example where did he say ksu was not being fair to minorties, don't sway words he said most black coaches think they have a better chance of being a head coach in the nfl rather than in the ncaa. Looks like Raheem was right.

K-STATE, woe is me, &@#% I feel like we are the donkey off of winnie the pooh sometimes the rain is always falling on just us.

If you find Dungy's using KSU as an example of racism where minority coaches are not being given a fair shake as valid you're obviously just wanting to rail on our fanbase.  Comparing this reaction to Dungy's ill conceived attack to every little slight some of our fans perceive from the media, in this instance, is not apples to apples.
