re: Usually I steer clear of this type stuff, but it needs to be said

He hasn’t been here very long. So he probably feels he doesn’t have enough goodwill built up to start forcing potentially unpopular decisions (assuming he even wanted to). Particularly on the athletic side. Plus, all of the athletic hires have been reasonable.

Kelly has tremendous credentials. What black HC out there could you say ON MERIT has equal or better credentials?

Same for Mulkey. However, she was replacing a black female who had been the HC for quite a while with minimal success. It’s not as if “racist” LSU didn’t give a black coach a shot.

In men’s basketball LSU had a 9 year period with black HC’s. The first had 3 straight below average to bad seasons before choosing to leave for another job. The second was here for 5 seasons, with marginal success, before bottoming out the program in his final year.

LSU hasn’t been reluctant to hire black coaches. But at some point ALL coaches are asked to produce, regardless of race
