Hey, guy, it's not like your team is going to the Final Four in the next 10 years anyway...eat a salad and chill...
I’m confused. I thought we weren’t supposed to consider race when hiring people.
By what rule of reason or logic does the preponderance of black players mean that a black coach is then required? Must be a Chicago thing...
So what?
Whiter? The bigoted author clearly hasn’t spent much time in Champaign-Urbana!
tom bredar 6:03 AM on March 28, 2012 I think the Sun-Times needs to Have more African American Sports writers. It is just unimaginable that in this day and age that we have to read garbage from old white cream of wheat writers who are bent on causing trouble for the States Land grant university, Come on Editors, get with the times.
His point is clearly that the school should judge a coach by the color of his skin, not by the content of his character.
Usually, racists find ways to avoid being as blunt and honest as this bigoted typist.
Quick question for Mr. Morrissey: Are you saying that being white causes Groce to be unqualified for the job? If so, are you comfortable with the ideological precedent that sets?
I know, of course, that a liberal will never answer these two questions truthfully.
Greetings Chi-townChief:
Illinois is both a morally and fiscally bankrupt state, yet the mass media focus is upon a coach’s skin color. If college sports went away tomorrow, how would the value of a degree decrease?
Another bell tolls for Chicago print media.
Cheers,

John Groce (born September 7, 1971 in Muncie, Indiana) is an American college basketball coach and the current head coach of the Ohio University men’s basketball team. Groce was named as head coach June 27, 2008 to replace Tim O’Shea, who resigned to take the head coach position at Bryant University.
Groce started his coaching career as an assistant and his alma mater, Taylor University from 1993 to 1996. His next job was an assistant at North Carolina State University under Herb Sendek from 1996-2000. He then moved on to Butler University to join his good friend Thad Matta and was there just one season, 2000–2001. Together they then moved onto Xavier University where he was an assistant from 2001–2004, and moved again with Matta to Ohio State University as an assistant from 2004-2008 before finally getting the head coaching job at Ohio University.
Groce graduated from Taylor in 1994 and played for the Trojans while he was there.
Groce is currently considered one of the top candidates to become the next head coach at the University of Illinois.[3] Illinois competes in the Big Ten conference.
Sigh. Sometimes I miss the racist, guilt-stricken urinalists in Chicago. Then, I read Kass online and wonder, does he laugh in Morrissey's face at the urinalist get-togethers?
I sure as hell would!
the coaches resembled “cream of wheat” skin color? what would a black coach skin color resemble, “milk duds” ?
Kentucky made its affirmative action hire a decade or 2 back and after winning the national championship in his first year WITH RICK PITINO’S TEAM, the black coach took one of the premier basketball programs in the nation to perpetual mediocrity! He had to be fired IN spite of being black, just as he was HIRED because of it!
Maybe the trustees don't want to have a HOODIE wearing coach at the moment!! /s

And if the black coach sucks why would that be the right thing. I would think any thinking man would hire the best coach for the job and not worry about the color. Hiring someone just because they are black is just as racist as hiring someone just because they are white or red or yellow. Quotas suck.
Maybe they don’t want to pay those high taxes.
