Typical white liberal BS. I don't remember Bowden telling Auburn: "No thanks. Don't hire me, hire an African-American." For that matter, I don't hear him calling for Daddy Bowden or brother Tommy to step aside for the sake of diversity. The so-called "Black Coaches Association" ripped my alma mater, South Carolina, for having the gall to hire Steve Spurrier. Bowden obviously endorses this type of nonsense, at least until another Bowden wants a job.

Disregard the word "dynasty" in the title

This wrong on so many levels - I see no statistics on graduation levels of athletes.

I would think that the coach should be a college graduate.

[El Gran Salseron]

I am anxious to see if Spurrier can win immediately or if it is going to take a couple of years of recruiting.

I have no comment about Bowden.

# Fifty percent black athletes...
Plainly and simply, folks, this is discrimination.

You have to admit that he's right. Blacks make up less than 15% of the population and account for 50% of the players. A prima-facia case of discrimination.....

Terry Bowden? Didn't he get caught in a scandal at Auburn that wiped out an undefeated season? That's what I thought.

As an alumnus of Michigan State, I don't give a rat's butt what the skin color of the coach is. I thought it was the right thing to do when Bobby Williams was hired in 99, not as a racial issue, but since he spent 10 years in the program and it was on the upswing. It was also right to fire him since he lost control of the team. Wins and losses.

I do have a problem with the NAACP going crazy over any firing or non-hiring of a black man. In fact, they are a major reason to blame for the lack of black coaches. Nobody wants bad racial press for their university. Even U-M got bad racial press when Brian Ellerbe was fired as basketball coach. Ellerbe didn't even have a .500 record. Even I felt sorry for U-M - and that's our rival.

Well, I guess we should have 99% black coaches in basketball, 80% black coaches in football, 60% black coaches in baseball, 1/2 coach in tennis, 1/8 coach in golf, 100% in boxing, 1/99999% in auto racing and remove all liberals and replace with people of color.......Ya think they will be happy then?

I thought we were a color blind society?
