Candid Coaches: Are coaches voting for Trump or Clinton for president?

Yeah, the results were overwhelming. And what's interesting is that the easy win for Hillary Clinton doesn't seem to be much about her at all. Put another way, she didn't win here because these coaches love her or are inspired by her. She won here because, well, because the main person running against her seems unfit and unqualified to be President of the United States.

That's the opinion of college basketball coaches, at least.

[ConservativeStatement]

As I often say, three enemies of our society are pop culture, the false education system and media. In a way, all three are represented here.

[phoneman08]

Of course if any of them said Trump, they’d never work again. That’s today’s academia. Lenin is looking up with a big evil grin.

[Leaning Right]

I don’t know about anyone else, but when I need political advice my first instinct is to seek out a college basketball coach.

[Bullish]

Why would anyone care what college basketball coaches think?

[KavMan]

I would be more concerned if the Military overwhelmingly supported Hillary! LOL

[kabar]

The reason is simple. The coaches’ jobs and success depend largely on black athletes. They have to be politically correct or risk having issues with their players and in recruiting. They are also at universities, which are controlled by the liberals.

[Dogbert41]

Maybe someday they can poll, I don’t know, maybe SMALL BUSINESS OWNERS who employ a large percentage of working adults?

[ichabod1]

Thass right! This sounds like a loyalty test.

[Jack Hammer]

Depends on whether or not they’re retards.

[ichabod1]

Terribly unfair question to be asked, and I should think the best answer would be that one preferred to keep one’s political persuasions to oneself. But thanks fr asking.

[Gargantua]

Most if not all of the teams led by these amoral cretins will have terrible losing seasons, with many great embarrassments and team catastrophes. Thus it is written, thus it shall be done.

[Mollypitcher1]

I’d like to see a vote from College FOOTBALL coaches. Bet it would be the opposite result.

[Mollypitcher1]

You nailed it!

Lou Holtz appeared on Fox a while back saying he was an enthusiastic supporter of Donald Trump.

[Wallace T.]

Lou Holtz is no longer a coach. I doubt any athletic director at Notre Dame or moat universities would find himself out of a job really quickly if he were vocally conservative or a Trump supporter..

[elpadre]

agreed - but Lou is loved and honored by many and a popular motivational speaker. Once a coach always a coach. But your words are well taken about the state of universities.
