If it wasn't sit down and listen time, one of the hosts might have asked how it can only be exclusively whities fault when at least two new african american general managers, both of whom claimed autonomy in hiring a new head coach BOTH chose white head coaches. One of them didn't even have a black head coach as a finalist.
The real fuck of it is, people will take his unresponded to take as gospel and I promise you I will hear him on 1000 on some low end shift this weekend spouting the same thing. In fact, I heard him saying the same shit a couple of weeks ago on the radio. Simple answers for simple people.
It's convenient to point out what 2 minority GM's recently did when talking about a decades long problem.
Listen to the question and the response and then try to debate my point.
You have two instances where white people weren't involved in the process and there was the same result. I don't believe you if you say that didn't raise your eyebrow. It certainly did mine, especially with the Bears doing everything in their power and with sincerity to hire an african american candidate
I'll grant you and agree with you 100% on everything before 2022. In 2022 you had a moment, with two people who are entirely in agreement with increased minority hiring of coaches and who had the power to do something about it but they did not. It was the right time, with the right people and nothing changed. You cannot dispute that and he cannot just yell "WHITE PEOPLE". At lease acknowledge and yell "WHITE PEOPLE and Poles and Adofo-Mensah.
If the Vikings, Bears and Jags make minority hires, the entire narrative makes a 180 degree turn to "NFL recognized a problem and has taken the first steps to correct it"
I did that before I initially responded to you.
Yes, we've seen 2 blacks get hired as GM recently. To use their hires as somewhat of an excuse for the historical hiring process is convenient and absolutely ridiculous. That is my view, you disagree. You and I both know, neither Poles or the Vikings guy got to pick "their guy". If they did, Harbaugh would be the coach in Minnesota because he was the best guy available and Poles would have interviewed folks that Polian hadn't already made finalists. Poles was given the choice to hire an old ass black coach for a rebuild or 2 significantly younger white coaches. He rightly chose one of the younger white coaches.
You are still somewhat of a minority in this country. You should know that getting your foot in the door doesn't mean that you instantly get to hire your friends or family or people simply because you share the same ethnicity. You still have to "play the game". Your success will determine if you can make future changes.
We are just a few decades removed from Al Campanis and Jimmy the Greek going on national television and saying that blacks weren't smart enough to have leadership jobs in sports. We're just a couple decades removed from black college quarterbacks needing to change positions in the NFL. Change comes slow to the NFL. Even when they acknowledge there is an issue.
