So, if you're a college athletic director, would you be reluctant to hire a black head coach? No. Well, ask Kevin White - the AD at Notre Dame - that question.
If you hire a black head coach, you're hailed as a hero. But then what do you do if you have to fire them. This entire Notre Dame story has turned into the "there are no more black head coaches, why is Notre Dame racist" story. Please.
Notre Dame hired Ty because they thought he could win. Notre Dame fired Ty because he didn't.
And where's the outrage over this:
INDIANAPOLIS -- Gerry DiNardo was fired as Indiana's football coach after a 3-8 season that ended with a 63-24 loss to Purdue, the Hoosiers' seventh defeat in eight years to their state rival.
DiNardo, who has two years left on his contract, had an 8-27 record in three seasons that were marked by declining attendance.
DiNardo had three years - like Ty - and sucked. Granted, Ty had a better record, but he had the program and resources to succeed. DiNardo didn't. No one can win at Indiana.
You see, at the Division I level it's all about winning. You win, you stay. You lose, you go. Black or white. It's that simple.
