Out here in California we're an effective one-party Democratic state, and we've spent $100 billion on a high speed rail project without anything to show for it, due to corruption. It is absolutely a both sides thing.

this is such a bullshit take. the racism narrative is getting tiring. this is a no-win scenario. whenever a black coach gets a chance, the talking heads say he's destined to fail; that he's put in a bad position from the start. what happened to Jeff Saturday in Indy? nobody said that about him.
how many white coaches get hired and dumped on the regular? nobody bats an eye. brian flores, lovie smith, jim caldwell, mike tomlin, todd bowles, the list goes on. it's easy to see racism when that's all you're looking for.
the only thing I agree with is that he might be choosing DC to get out from under Andy Reid's shadow. but that doesn't prove the racism narrative.

Sorry I couldn't understand what you were saying in this part. I didn't know that he lost an award. Sad to see him being subjected to mental torture.

You are right about his past. But the calling plays things is speculation. I haven’t seen the Andy Reid or the team claim that. I do believe that Reid can and will overrule his decisions though. There are a lot less qualified people that get head coaching jobs in the nfl every year. Freddie kitchens, Jeff Saturday, and Adam gase just to name a few. Gase for one had the exact situation you described that led to him being a coach except the violent past. He ran an offense that performed well with Peyton manning at the reigns and became a coach for the dolphins. Failed at that then was hired by the jets. I’m sure his race is barely playing a role, but the nfl doesn’t have a great record with hiring coaches of color.

yeah einstein except only the government says the giant black cloud of poison that killed every animal in some radius is safe. (in this case the buildings that clearly fail modern safety codes) whereas the government and scientists, disease experts, and millions of people who only benefitted from getting the vaccine all agree that it is safe. but sure. sheeeeeeple or whatever. have fun dying of covid ig

No, it’s just that the title in the link says the guys name. So everyone can tell you didn’t even put the effort in to click the link, but still come into the comments like ‘Who?’. Kinda makes you look pretty dumb.

I don’t think race is playing a role. Hiring a coordinator that doesn’t do the most important function of an actual coordinator (ie call plays) is already a risk itself. Yes, it’s worked out for KOC in Minny and Zac Taylor in Cinci but those are probably the only times it’s worked well so far. And I think both of those guys come from McVay’s coaching tree, which EB is not apart of.
Now add in his long list arrests and violent behavior (including choking a woman), as well as his abrasive personality, it’s not hard to see why he can’t find a job. People want to hire someone they 1) like, 2) believe will make them money, and 3) will make them look good in front of others for making the right choice.
Would fans not be upset if your team hired a coach that assaulted a woman in his past, is not very likeable because he has a holier-than-thou personality, and hasn’t even proven he can do the job because he has greatness around him and isn’t even performing the major function of his job title?
Maybe being black isn’t helping, but it’s far from the first (or fifth) reason owners have pause about hiring EB.

With the greatest QB and Head Coach in NFL history. Seems like it was less him and more them, no? Especially when you factor in that LV knew about him being terrible with Broncos and backing out of Indy at the last possible second (screwing over multiple coaches and their families who had signed contracts and already moved to begin working on his staff).
You can give the Broncos the benefit of the doubt. Maybe even Indy (he just wasn’t ready to be an HC). But after both debacles, LV should have known better and deserve exactly what is happening by looking the other way and still hiring him. Historically bad decision.

I care about these points about as much as you care about your education. Which evidently, you put little thought or care into educating yourself.
