Oh I forgot that Alabama was such a bastion of racial diversity and minority opportunity.

Michigan isnt nearly the team Ohio State is, they were playing for Bo. Ohio State still essentially won by 10, they gave them the give me, bust spread touchdown at the end. Nobody in the country is with in 10 points of Ohio State.

well, Birmingham(the biggest city) & Montgomery (the capitol city) are both over 50% black in population, if the state were so racist as everyone claims, why would so many minorities live there? It's a "New" South that is very progressive and the yankees don't like it, because so many people are leaving the NE to move there because companies are moving there~maybe not AL so much but definately Atlanta, and the FL cities, although Birmingham is really taking off too as of late, as is Huntsville

Maybe there was just no more room in Beverly Hills?
What does the population of Birmingham have to do with the fact that there is ZERO chance that the U of Alabama will hire a black coach? If you think that there is less racism in the "new" south you are kidding yourself. Ask those that reside in the 9th ward in N.O.

all of the mentioned black coaches like Green, Willingham, Romeo are gainfully employeed...the first guy we tried to hire was a minority (hispanic). Don't blame Nawlins on Alabama, unfortunatly racism rears its ugly head everywhere

to put this into perspective, at UNC, where basketball is king, they fired Matt Doherty after only three seasons. Doherty played under the legendary Dean Smith, where he was a 4 year starter for the Tarheels. He was seen as a young coach with a ton of "potential" (as I think Samarta put it). Now when he was fired after 3 seasons, not 4 like Coach Shula, I don't remeber all the media scrutiny/or fan bashing, or racial bashing when the Heels decided to make a change. Also, when Coach Guthridge retired, they could have hired longtime assistant Phil Ford (a black man), but they wanted Matt instead (any similarities there?). Roy led the Tarheels to a title 2 years later with mostly all players recruited by Doherty.
