Hopeful coaches say..Enough is Enough

Many African-American coaches are done with lingering around and waiting to be hired under major lead college football programs. It seems that they are now attempting to seek justice by making a federal case out of the long going issue.
After years of attempting to persuade numerous university administrators into hiring minority football coaches, the executive director of the Black Coaches and Administrators is now searching for a potential lawsuit.

This comes only four days after former NBA player Charles Barkley nationally bashed Auburn, for choosing to hire Gene Chizik as their football coach, instead of hiring Turner Gill who is black and who was one among their top choices. For those that may not know, Barkley was pulling for Auburn to hire Turner Gill long before Gene Chizik emerged publicly as a candidate for the job. Barkley's take on why his Alma mater hired Chizik instead: Gill is a black coach, Chizik is white. "I believe race had a factor."

It is true to say that throughout the recent years, more black coaches have been granted interviews, but when they are compared to the number of minority coaches in the college basketball or the NFL, college football lags to far behind.
On a statistical stand point, it is an outright disgrace when you consider the number of minority coaches in college football.
An estimated 23 to 26 percent of college basketball coaches are minorities, while college football is now down to four blacks among the 119 Football Bowl Subdivision teams. By comparison, nearly one-fourth of the NFL's 32 teams (seven) have minority head coaches and the only black coach hired during this recent round comings and goings has been Mike Locksley at New Mexico.

In this day and age its so sad to see that racism still exists.
