(ThyBlackMan.com) Last Saturday Night in a primetime college football game on ESPN (a network I personally don’t watch) The University Of Texas Football Team had just suffered one of the worst losses in the history of that program by losing in overtime to a historically basketball school in The University Of Kansas 24-21 in a game that Texas was never even suppose to lose.
And with that egregious loss, reports have been confirmed that Charlie Strong will be fired by The University Of Texas not only because of that loss, but also become some athletes were doing well academically in the classroom. Let’s face it, a coach with a 60% win ratio, but has a 90% academic graduation ratio would certainly be fired by the university because education doesn’t satify the university’s thirst for financial greed through their athletic department, winning does.
When Charlie Strong left Louisville to go to Texas in 2014, bigots down there in Texas were not very thrilled with the idea of hiring a black man like Charlie Strong to hold the most important job in The State Of Texas: The Head Football Coach Of The University Of Texas.
The University Of Texas is currently the most profitable college
football program in the country generating more than over $150 million in revenue. But here’s the racial undertone to that, that money is constantly being extracted from our community each year by these PWIs like Texas because of our superior athletic ability and the fact that these PWIs would only admit black people that can play a sport, but constantly refusing to admit black scholars students and the black athlete to black student ratio at PWIs like Texas is extremely atrocious.
The reasons why the bigots in Texas were not very thrilled about that hire was because of this mythical racialized biases towards black men, especially in the head coaching position. And they never really wanted him to be the head football coach there in the first place, which is why they deliberately underminded him at Texas.
Here’s what arguably the most powerful booster who has donated over $100 million dollars to that university over the years had to say about The Hiring Of Charlie Strong:
“I think the whole thing is a bit sideways. I don’t have any doubt that Charlie is a fine coach. I think he would make a great position coach or maybe a coordinator.”
“But I don’t believe he belongs at what should be one of the three most powerful university programs in the world right now down at UT-Austin. I don’t think it adds up.
“I don’t see how they can miss. They can get anyone they want. They can close their eyes and go, ‘Eeny-meeny-miny-moe’ and come up with someone good.”
Here’s my take on the booster’s comments: He doesn’t truly understand the ignorant, racially sensitive statement he just made because he’s one of those bigots who believe that black men like Charlie Strong are only good to be a position coach or a defensive coordinator, but are “not smart” and “not good enough” to be head coaches and hearing racially sensitive comments like that make me sick to my stomach.
And then on top of that, black men as head football coaches at PWIs like Texas are given a much shorter time frame than caucasoid head football coaches.
Example: A caucasoid head football coach is given 5 years to build a program that consistently wins, but a black male head football coach is only given 2-3 years to build a winning football program.
The Conclusion – If I were a head football coach, I would rather build a winning football program with a longer time frame at an HBCU than building up some big university’s program up at a PWI because PWIs (predominate white institutions) are places where black male head football coaching careers go to die.
