I shook my head in disgust with this hiring years ago because I KNEW it would not work and that my alma mater was setting itself up for charges of racism when come to Jesus day rolled around.

For a black man to succeed at Texas he would have to get the team in the national championship game every other year, minimum. So, “a firing” is inevitable day one for all but the very, very, very best. Charlie never had a chance and joins a long line of “fired” head football coaches at UT.

Sad day because Charlie was and is a class act.

Really? So Charlie is being fired because he is black?

B.S. Have you seen Texas play?

I guess when A&M fires Summerlin it will be because he is black too?

It’s stupid to hire a coach and not give him enough time to suceed. He’s just getting his recruiting classes up. Future coaches should be wary.

Here’s what you posted: “For a black man to succeed at Texas he would have to get the team in the national championship game every other year, minimum”

So, since that is an impossible standard for anyone I figured that the only reason he would be held to that standard is because he is black.

Reading reeeeeeaaall slow, that’s what I got out of it.
