I thought we weren't supposed to consider race when making hires?

For Auburn's sake, they better hire the best available.

Why didn't he do this when Alabama was hiring a new coach???

BTW, I think Turner Gill is a damn fine coach and would do okay at AU. Probably not as good as Tubbs, but okay.

"I have a dream that my four children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character ... and that retired black athletes will insist on hiring black coaches solely because they are black."

You can make the checks payable to the casino. Cut out the middleman.

Memo to Charles:

Rather than desperately trying to hold on to fame and significance, shut your mouth and go back to perfecting that ridiculously ugly golf swing and continue to take the slice out of bounds to epic levels.

We here at AU admin will handle the grown up decisions. We will interview the available candidates and select the one that best fits our future goals.

That said, the new hire may be white, may be black, or may be neither. So quit whining and stuff another twinkie in to that gut.

PS. There is absolutely no chance of whomever we hire doing a better job than TT did.

The best Barkley quote was on TNT a couple years ago - "If you are in the SEC and you ain't cheatin - you ain't tryin."
