BS on race being a factor in the Auburn selection. Turner Gill, whom I respect greatly, has no experience in the Southeast. No contacts with high school coaches, no recruiting against the big boys in the SEC (Saban, Spurrier, Meyer, Miles). Chizik is not a great choice either. If you want to raise the race boogeyman, look at Syracuse. That’s in Gill’s neighborhood and a logical stepping stone in conferences. I don’t hear anyone claiming racism because he wasn’t hired there.

Charles Barkley once said about 10-15 years ago that the reason there aren’t so many minority coaches is that most of them don’t want to coach. They would rather spend their time golfing, fishing, or relaxing instead of stressing over coaching. It may be true, but I’m sure it goes for everyone. By the way, why doesn’t Charles want to coach?

Auburn could’ve hired Rich Kotite! Just kidding. Gill really got screwed on this one, but I heard part of the reason was because he had a white wife,and that a lot of African-Americans may not trust him to coach their sons(reverse discrimination). What the real issue here is, howmany people are “qualified” to be a head coach? If we say 30, how many are African American? 10? If 4 jobs are available, 3 white and 1 black get hired, it’s still 10%.
