How come black head coaches can't get it done when they get to the big time?
This is kind of like saying, "D00d, it seems like every time I look at my alarm clock, it says 9:11. WTF?" It's not that your alarm clock says 9:11 all the time. It's that you're fracking stupid. When a black coach fails, you (apparently) write it down in the captain's log and savor the significance. When a tubby good ol' boy from Texas fails to lead a BCS team to prominence, you're probably not saying, "Damn, those tubby good ol' boys just cain't hack it." Just like your heart not beating faster when your alarm clock says 6:43.
Not racist at all, just seems like there hasn't been a successful one in college football yet. I know there aren't nearly as many opportunities but you'd think one would break through at some point.
I didn't mean to accuse you of being racist, though...you know, looking at my post again...I'd probably interpret it that way myself. So, uh, sorry about that. I was just sort of being a jackass for the sake of being a jackass (it's been known to happen). As of October 26, 2007, there had been only 22 black head coaches in the history of "major" college football (

If you were to randomly select 22 white head football coaches from the annals of CFB (not from a list of dudes coaching at any one time since that would skew things, I guess, but from a list of all former/present coaches) and scrutinize their coaching careers, you probably wouldn't be very impressed with their resumes.
