Yes the SWAC has signed white field goal kickers for yrs but this is obviously more important.

The SWAC has also had the occasional white QB. They also have white players in their other programs, like softball and baseball.

Agreed but no head coaches again this hiring is significant.

He'll probably end up like Zimmerman, shooting an unarmed black player. White people are not to be trusted.

Hey, thanks for being good-humored with that comment. On a serious note, I think this is a great move by Acorn St. :thumb:

Actually, I just became tired of trying to extend this thread.

Not true, dal.

This might be the first hire of a white head FOOTBALL coach, but Southern has a white BOWLING head coach, and she's been their for EIGHT years, and has been SWAC COY three of the last four years. Grambling has a Hispanic soccer HC. AL A&M's interim BASEBALL HC is white, as is their bowling HC (in his 11th year). AL State's baseball coach is Hispanic, and their soccer coach is white. Jackson State's softball coach is white. MS Valley State's baseball and soccer coaches is white. Prairie View's soccer coach is Hispanic.

Still big in that Alcorn hired a white FOOTBALL coach. But the first non-Black (or first white head coach in the league)? Not even close.

Whether or not it's a great hire will depend on results. Sure, it might be time for integration of the HBCUs, but they shouldn't make the jump just to make the jump.

That said, the fact that he's received coaching awards indicates that he MIGHT be the right choice. His experience at a variety of good programs is also a good sign.

Come on, 93. Surely you know how to look things up. You might not wish to take the time, but I'm sure you at least know how.
