re: Has LSU ever had a black coach or even a black candidate

Who gives a frick. Who are you working for? What is your purpose?

OSU was just a mediocre squad while he was there.

Mediocre compared to what? Are you trying to say Okie St. was better before Miles?

Randy Shannon was a race card hire as well as a lack of effort to go outside the program. He isn't a great coach anyway but he is black so it's ok. He gets an extra few years to try. Croom was given more time for the same reason. In the end it shouldn't matter how many black coaches there are. If you are good enough someone will want to hire you. Everyone has to pay their dues first. Smaller schools can afford to make moves like this, big schools pay a huge price when hiring an unproven race motivator. See Notre Dame.

Just because corporate america is making a huge mistake by promoting based on race, doesn't mean football teams need to do it too.

It's Moors you idiot! That must be a mis-type, huh?

BTW, if we're now going to be reserving coaching interviews and hires based on the racial/
nationality quota system, lets open it up to all races and nationalities, not just those of African descent.

You know, I'm really pissed that LSU has never had, or even considered, a Scottish / Southern English-Northern French Hybrid head coach. That's my ancestry and I think it's discriminatory that LSU has never considered a coach with that heritage. It would be awesome to have a Scottish head coach at LSU. The entire coaching staff could wear Kilts and the AD could paint a really cool purple and gold tartan pattern in the endzones. We could even add a Bagpipe section to TGBFTL.

Dude, it's Moops. No points!

Considering there's only 3 black head coaches in all of NCAA division 1 football, calling out LSU specifically for not hiring a black head coach seems unfair to me.

The bottom line with LSU is that it's a job that currently requires division 1 head coaching experience in order to be qualified. This is a fact. We haven't hired an assistant coach to be our head coach since 1988, and that didn't turn out so well, did it?

Second tier programs like Colorado, Illinois, Wake Forest... these are the types of programs where non-head coaches need to be getting experience in order to become upper level head coaches later. If THEY are not the ones hiring minority coaches, then THEY are the ones to point the fingers at.

I honestly believe that LSU fans and the administration wouldn't care if our coach is black, white or any other color. But we DO care if they are qualified. It is not in LSU's best interest to hire someone who does not have prior division 1 head coaching experience, regardless of color. Among the non-white coaches without positions currently, that talent pool is rather slim in size, and quite frankly, undistinguished in record.

why do we have to look at a black candidate, when there are way more qualified white ones. Typical "hope and change" supporter, thinking their entitled b/c of their race.
