Just heard on the radio the Texans are moving forward with the hiring of Lovie Smith.

I do admit this is odd. After his failed stint in college, I figured he'd retired. I had no idea he jumped right back into the NFL ranks.

It also kinda ruins the narrative. Houston is hiring a retread (black) head coach instead of one of the media-backed minority assistants. Bienemy, Demeco Ryans, Leftwich couldn't land a job over a black retread either.

Lovie Smith beat out a current high school head coach for the Texans head coaching job.

Sounds like a satirical headline.

In a year or two from now, he'll be able to say he's been fired by three NFL teams.

Lovie seems like a good guy, but he just hasn't been a good HC since things fell apart with the Bears.

I like Lovie Smith.

But I wouldn’t want him to be my team’s HC.

Does that make me racist?

The Texans ceiling is the division round, not wild card

This is going to backfire so bad. They're going to fire him after a year too and then they'll fire two black coaches after a year. It's going to be intolerable.

Making the wild card with those Andy Dalton Bengals teams was basically the equivalent of a well run franchise getting to the SB.

Wait this is an April Fool's joke right? Wasn't Lovie already in the Texan organization? Somehow this hiring will get blasted for not hiring the right black guy. Which it should.

Exactly! It doesn't matter who they hire. The whole organization is a hot mess.

Ok -- Lovie as HC makes some sense.

But screw Goodell and the NFL and their full-on race-baiting and "Stop The Hate" hoax-messaging.

And there was this bullsh*t:

Goodell:

“We recognize the need to understand the lived experiences of diverse members of the NFL family to ensure that everyone has access to opportunity and is treated with respect and dignity.”

Wait; If the number of white DBs has basically been ZERO for the last 20 years, can the NFL prove THEY have provided "access to opportunities"?
