The biggest problem is that there are not a large number of African-American men or women teaching in the secondary schools. Outside of Metro and Memphis, there are not that many teaching. I have a friend who is African-American, and he wants to work in Metro while I have tried to get him to apply in Rutherford County. He wants to work in Metro to help kids like he was when he was at Antioch.

For one Tennessee tried to talk to Lovee Smith(Chicago). He wasn't interested. I think the thing that should bother you is when they(minorities) do get a chance. Why don't they get the best black players to come play for them. If I were black and it was an issue with me then I would go play for a black coach. These top athletes have not done that. They have not supported the black coaches. If minorities make up 70% of the game then you would THINK they could both have gotten top 10 classes the last few years. Now I don't know where MS & WASHINGTON have been ranked in the recruiting wars but I would say its not even in the top 25.

Crooms from MS was an exception man that didn't get the best talent(average talent at best). Same thing for TY Willingham. Why don't the best athletes go and play for these coaches? I don't have the answer but its partly the reason they don't have a job. As for the High School jobs I would say there is a shortage of male teachers every where. Weather it be black, white or hispanic. I for one have seen several minority basketball coaches but football coaches for some reason are not that plentiful. As for Mr Fields not getting the Riverdale job. I couldn't tell you. I know nothing about that particular situation.

    • Well nothing new, the Mustangs are really talented again this coming season!  They very well could go undefeated in regular season.  We shall see what happens in postseason.  I think the path to state title game is a little clearer than years past.  I think the Stangs are going to be really good and I think the traditional teams around in 2A are not going to be as strong.  It should be a fun season!
    • I would not put too much stock into the UH over Eagleville. From what I understand they were pretty banged up in that tourney. Catcher was out, they were throwing pretty deep in their bullpen and a few key players were beat up in their infield. Sounds like they are pretty healthy heading into the district tournament. Look at their schedule, they played some really good teams.
