Not good to start a morning mad, but mad I am.

This John Mitchell is a full-out, hate-filled, and CLUELESS, Jesse Jackson type racist.

To wit: "I think this is a small ripple in a big ocean," said Mitchell, 52. "Attitudes don't change overnight. Just because Sylvester got hired, it's not going to be a windfall for African-Americans in college football. Let's not kid ourselves."

Not a windfall for Africian-Americans in college football? I should hope NOT. How about hiring on MERIT, Mr. Mitchell, or is college football supposed to be a black thang?

JMJ, the Mitchell's of this world are beyond ignorant. They're disgusting.

I just read your take on John Mitchell, and I don't think he's hate-filled at all. He's simply realistic. There is not going to be a sudden hiring of black head coaches. Mike Shula did not merit the Alabama head coaching position. Sly Croom did.
