That's good but there is a point to where you are starting to hurt the players by focusing solely on "diversity" instead of the best you can get. If it's both perfect. That doesn't seem to be the case anymore as it seems we've been denied by the top 10 on the list
I'll be honest, the top 10 passed us by already. We are in second and third tier. If you're there you might as well play the long game and attempt to get the best of both worlds. Once you've exhausted that effort you can look those student athletes in the eye and tell them you did what you could, they'll know it and the coaching community would know it. He's playing the long game imo.
 
If y'all were betting men women and everything in between, do y'all think we will have a DC before Monday?
I have no idea, but I bet u predict UT doesn't have a DC by Monday and that u also, predict UT to lose to LSU, in basketball tomorrow. Am I right ? Hell, why am I asking u, I already know I'm right

Thank you.
I have these conversations often enough that it’s a pretty comfortable space. Mostly, Bc I’ve been blessed to have friends from so many different backgrounds. And we all listen and challenge each other. We don’t always agree but we respect each other enough to actually listen and be empathetic.
We all have soooo much more in common than we do differences.
I’m certainly aware of how as a middle class white man, I experience life from that perspective.

I’ve also been blessed in my line of work to live as a minority for years in Asia, sometimes from a place of privilege, and sometimes disdained for being an American. I’ve been on both sides.

Our former pastor who married us was African American and I have the privilege of speaking in predominantly African American churches too. I feel like I’m kind of rambling now and I’m not sure it’s even relevant 😂 I’m tired

I’m pretty sure we are in agreement @I4Jay
🤜🏻🤛🏾
 
Okay, so I just got back from doing the Valentine's stuff with the wife ... pretty good ribeye from Longhorn, but the wings are even better ... AAAAaaaannnnyway ... We still ain't hired a DC? And somebody said something about a trivial detail derailing the whole thing, when we had one signed?


.......yes
























It had to be done

Just had a scare....

The two-year old evidently hid some legos in the fireplace. Turned that baby on after they went down for bed and after few minutes we had a raging, pungent inferno of molten Ninjagos in the living room.

Daddy needs a drink..

PSA: always have a fire extinguisher on hand. Not sure how bad that could have gotten.
Damna kids!

So it seems there is an emphasis on diversity with this staff. Can someone please explain to me what in the hell does the color of a persons skin have to do with coaching?

Nothing and it is a slap in the face of people like Dr. King that fought to make the color of a person's skin irrelevant.

Thank you God, you don’t have to.

It is a lose lose situation for everyone and nobody wants to admit it if it is indeed happening. This school will lose out by possible removing the best fit for the job from the candidate list. The coach will lose because he will be held to a higher standard by some and if he fails it will do nothing but prove the beliefs of those that opposed the hire to begin with. Only in a perfect world could this be a positive and we all know the world is far from perfect. Lets just get the best we can get and move forward no matter what they look like, that is a win for everybody involved.
Residual effect of Fulmer bringing in T, who’s resume’ says position coach and promising more, the public accusation of racism by AH and others when he isn’t offered anything by DW or CJH coupled with Plowman press conference professing to morally right the ship.
