Lot of rumors this morning that Hopson is gone. LINK

Maybe some locker room stuff. One of their running backs posted this Twitter:

quote:

They suspended me, made a statement out of me or however you want to put it this game because I told our trainer “that he was gonna get delt with if he say another RACIAL SLURR!” He told some of the guys “Y’all out of y’all cotton picking mind”! Nothing was done to him tho!!

A trainer maybe?

Is that really a racial slur?

LMAO the players at Southern Miss hate him. They already have had a bunch of defections in the preseason.

I know everyone on the Southern Miss Facebook group I follow seems to be excited about this but I don't know how true it is. Seems odd to resign after the first game.

ETA: Too bad it's not the university president instead.

I am sure there is a deserving and sufficiently woke black candidate out there.

Jay Hopson coached at Alcorn before this. If he were saying racist things he would have been run out of the swac a long time ago

In 2020, a black player can make up a racist statement that a white coach never said and the coach get fired because of wokeness.

Hopson was a white coach at an HBCU before getting this job. To accuse him of racism is absolutely ridiculous

Ok. Serious question. Is “out of cotton picking mind” racist or is it just taken in that context in light of what is currently going on?

I agree. Did not know I couldn’t say this. I’ve never thought of this as a racist statement. 2020 strikes again

I don’t know if it is always racist -white share croppers and all- but you’d have to be crazy to say it to a Black player.
