Where did Go Blue get all those white OL. They had 9 of 11 players on offense white.

Am I the only one who’s getting post 1997 vibes and definitely not post 2007 vibes about the current state and future of our program?

You are a dunbass, some idiot backward fans may care about race but most fans and all coaches would play a purple alien looking MF at QB if he was good enough.

OK genius. Head. In. Sand. I'm not one that does care. I care about winning. And when you want to win, you look at what winners do.

OK then. Taking your argument/question in good faith with no assumed underlying motivation other than wanting to know if playoff coaches are staying away from black/non-white QBs the answer is no. A quick check of this years recruiting shows multiple playoff teams signed QBs who are not white. SMU, Ohio St., Oregon, Texas, Clemson, and Georgia all did.
If you look at previous playoffs since it started multiple black/non-white QB led teams have made the field and some have won it. The first playoff had Blake Sims, Cardale Jones, Jameis Winston, and Marcus Mariota. Since then you've had, and I'm doing this off the top of my head so I'm sure I'm missing someone, Deshaun Watson, Kyler Murray, Kelly Bryant, Desmond Ridder, Justin Fields, Tua, Jalen Hurts, CJ Stroud, Bryce Young, Michael Penix, and Jalen Milroe. I'm sure I'm missing some.
So I think it's just a coincidence on the lack of diversity of QBs in the playoffs this season.

Through the years? I'm talking about current coaches. Not the university. I know Vince Young played at Texas. I'm not trying to say that universities or coaches are racist.
I'm simply saying, I'm surprised by the glaring lack of diversity at the position. SMU did have the most black qbs of all the teams in the playoff this season.
It's an astonishing coincidence in my opinion. Especially the minority coaches not having one. You'd think they'd prioritize it especially since Franklin has made comments about college football needing more black coaches. More black coaches, but he doesn't have a black qb on his roster?
Also, I don't think it's fair to say that a qb who is biracial is "black".
Also, all of the coaches of the qbs you listed are no longer coaching except Dabo (Watson) and Fickell (Ridder).
Also, neither Fickell nor Dabo currently have a black qb on their current rosters.
Edit: I forgot about Ryan Day (Stroud). He's still coaching too.

Did current coaches not sign this years recruiting class? The teams I listed that you just quoted all signed non-white QBs in THIS years early signing period. That's Ryan Day, Dan Lanning, Kirby Smart, Dabo Swinney, Sark, and Rhett Lashlee. Did you misread "this years" as "through the years"?
