There are still 0 black coaches in the SEC. How many black coordinators?
Yet the majority of the players are overwhelmingly black. This is inexcusable.

You're absolutely correct! Each school should look at their demographic and only allow participation based on racial populations.

To this point specifically, can you tell me the most prominent black person in UTs athletic department? Are there any black head coaches in any of the sports?

Maybe the black coaches that are ready for this hc job (or anywhere in the department) are smart enough to not take it. Who would want the hc job here... only an idiot at this point. You can lead a horse to water....

At the end of the day though, doesn't it really just boil down to math? There are what, 130 FBS college football programs in the country and something like 11% of them are led by an African American head coach. Extrapolate that to the US population, where African Americans make up what, a little over 12%? OK, so it's a LITTLE lower than the US Census I'll grant you. But it's not that far off. Isn't it somewhat fair to say the reason there are so few AA college head coaches is because there's just not nearly as many QUALIFIED candidates to choose from to begin with as there are white candidates?

Unfortunately it isn’t about math. This is a historic problem. If you make the qualified argument you have to explin why they are not qualified.
Also, how many coordinators? ADs? Presidents? Is that proportional? Also, isn’t this the wrong calculation when the overwhelming majority of players are black?
Can you point me to the article that gave you that number btw?

^This one has 14 coaches and that was before Mason got fired. That would make below 9% and again, 0 in the SEC.

I think Alabama should fire Saban and get a black hc... good canidates would be tripping over themselves for that job.

Nope you just haven’t made a point worth responding to yet. Keep trying though.

Maybe i should simplify it a little for you, if your having trouble... you are correct, we need to balance things out more, no one race should be favored... isnt that what your argument is?

Not if the result is 0 diversity in the most renown college football conference in the country. More needs to be done.

I don't know. You would have to show me how many black players pursue a career in coaching after their playing days are over.

I didn't get my number from an article. I simply looked up how many current black head coaches there are in FBS (14) and divided that by the total number of FBS programs in the country (130). That comes to 11% of total FBS programs currently being coached by a black head coach. The latest census shows that approx 12% of the current US population is African American. So mathematically, the percentages parallel each other pretty closely.

My reading comprehension is fine. Your ability to convey your message is suspect though. See below

While I understand where big Al is coming from and I do believe there is plenty of evidence that there is systemic racism at Tennessee; there was absolutely no evidence that Tee was ready for this job.

So, you really shouldn’t throw out smart Alec remarks.

130/14 does not equal 11%. There are also no longer 14 black head coaches in the country.

while I’m not that guy I agree. No interview for Tee is a slap in the face

What is there in his coaching history that says "I'm ready for my first HC gig, and it should be at an SEC school?"
