re: Lets be real about Kevin Sumlin

He's a black coach in the SEC, the hate towards him is not unexpected.

It is the SEC. Winning is not everything, its the only thing.

I'm not saying racism is a thing of the past, it most certainly is not. But if he was a top ten recruiter and won at least 10 games a season like clockwork then he could have glow in the dark green skin and wear assless chaps on the sideline and half of the schools here would hire them while their fans cheered.

The other half would already have hired someone who glows in the dark and wears chaps.

Football trumps everything in the South. The conference went from not allowing any non-whites on the team to being fully integrated in a handful of years.

With Sumlin, its that he's had a lousy couple of years and his team seems to be disintegrating. If he was still winning, and winning big, then whenever the vid of him stumbling around drunk was posted folks would be complaining that their coaches don't get wasted as much as he does.
