Over the past year there has been a significance changes in professional and college teams. Among the different trades and new contracts signees, coaches on the teams suddenly have new faces, new significance, new determinations, goals and attitude. Whether it being hired, fired, retired, just moving on or just getting better, there’s now new and (in some cases) improved sheriffs in town.
Two Black Coaches in Super Bowl XLI
With all this talk about “COACHES” period, The one thing that sticks out in my head, as well as everybody else’s’…Not the new contracts or how much money should the lowest paid coach get “paid” but the 2 black coaches in SB41. To me those coaches deserve to be looked at more than 2 black coaches. They should be looked as two “hella good” coaches that lead their teams to the “Big Dance” respectively!! I’m just waiting until this “race” factor will not even matter in the Super Bowl or any other game.
