Can’t believe they made the S16 5 years in a row. To be honest, some reporter said he was fired because of the white media. He didn’t say that
I don’t want to make this a racial thing by any means, but while I very much agree that there are black coaches, particularly in the NFL, not getting as many opportunities, the same people who cry that more black coaches should be hired, literally never feel that they should be fired.
Lovey Smith, Brian Flores, Marv, Lewis. It literally does not matter what their results are if they ever get fired at the same rate, in which white coaches get fired, there’s always media saying they were treated unfairly.
How many coaches survive an 8-24 season finishing four games out of 13th place in the conference? I really don’t think skin color enters into it.
Illinois went down the tubes under Weber, struggled mightily under Jon Groce, and never reached those depths, and I wanted those guys fired long before they were fired. Nobody was saying that those two were treated unfairly when they were let go.
