good then. i didn't realize that.
i always tend to think when a minority or woman gets hired, they're usually doubly qualified.Originally Posted by snarky
i saw a chris rock standup where he was talking about 4 black people live in his neighborhood, the rest are white.
the black folks are rock, jay-z, eddie murphy, and mary j blige (not sure if I got the names right, but they're 4 of the best people at what they resprectively do. best in their business types.)
then he goes on to say his neighbor is just a white dentist.
and all his rich white neighbors are average folks.
but the black folks have to be superstars to live in an average wealthy white folk neighborhood.
no one that takes a step up is ever qualified. it's what you do once you get the opportunity.
tomlin's doing great.
and he might be the youngest SuperBowl winning coach real soon.
Wooooooooooooo!
Didn't start this thread as a knock on Tomlin. I love the job he's doing. This team is focused and playing with an intensity we haven't had in years.
And I'm sorry I said "black coach" instead of "minority coach". I was just watching NFLN and see all these white coaches being interviewed and hired with little or no mention of minority candidates.

He also has a head coaching record of 26-63 in college. Obviously, qualified . Sounds like Dungy wanted a minority to take over for a minority and the Colts bought into it. Good thing Manning is at the helm otherwise this could get very ugly in INDY.
Looks like we were right.Originally Posted by stlrz d
rpm, my comment wasn't directed at you. Sorry if you misunderstood. It just seems to be a theme that any time minority coaches/rooney rule comes up there is a fair amount of whinging on about it by certain folks.
In response to his pleas, an officer said: "You think we've never arrested somebody that's made national media? ... We deal with the Bengals all the time."

is it possible that the move was about taking Peyton's QB coach and making him HC to keep Peyton happy? He is ... like.... the franchise.Originally Posted by LasVegasGuy

look at Auburn and the Chizik hire... dude was 5-19 at Iowa State.. lost 10 straight games this year and had zero conference wins!!!Originally Posted by LasVegasGuy
Iowa State was mad when he left... and Auburn said they liked the direction he had Iowa State headed in.
Turner Gill(black) turned the worst college team in D1 into a conference champion in 2 years...
To quote my Dad.. "Chizik mush have one hell of a personality"
I lost a bet about Najee gaining 1300 yards.
"Our head coach has failed to win a playoff game for seven years in a row. His game day strategy, culture of divas, in game decisions, clock management, player evaluation, hires, and affinity with sub par starters at RB, P, and OL are holding the Steelers back. That standard remains the standard"
