    The implication that he was hired because of affirmative action and that hiring any black person is a diversity experiment is the racist part, not the collard greens.

    I don't think Romar was hired because he was black (we? went after like four white dudes before offering him the gig anyway).

    I do think if Romar were white he would have been fired a long time ago.
    Sounds like they weren't interested in the Rooney Rule.

    Ty wasn't hired because he was Black either. He had been head coach at two major universities. He was hired because the AD and President were shit heads.

    Romar was a great hire. Up and coming assistant who came in and lit a fire under the program and made our once a decade trip to the Sweet 16. Twice.

    Then like nothing.

    Ty clearly got a 4th year due to color. Not sure if that is why Romar is still around or not. His past record buys a lot of good will. I suppose you would have fired Don James too and he was white as I recall. Harshman and on a Bender got a lot of extra time too. Mens basketball was an after thought and I guess still is.

    There were people inside the athletic department who said Todd Turner talked openly of the idea of having black coaches in as many positions as possible. Race was very much part of the equation in regards to Willingham.
