Most coaches are stepping into dire situations. That’s almost always why there was a coaching change.

(To preemptively ward off anyone who correctly says that Illinois is always bad at football, fair enough, but the main reason for that is a string of bad coaches being hired, Lovie Smith being one of them.)
Of course. To fix the issue of Black coaches not getting enough chances, let’s hire a 64-year old retread who’s being given his third NFL head coaching opportunity, after having gone a combined 25-63 in his last seven seasons (two in Tampa Bay, five at Illinois) as a head coach!
Lovie Smith is about to get a long-overdue NFL head coaching opportunity
I think our position on this is mostly the same, I just didn’t do the best job of articulating mine at first. I agree that ignorance isn’t an excuse for saying it. My only “defense” of him was very narrowly limited to not assuming that said insult was indicative of any particular position he had. I don’t think when he…
I’m not part of that group at all. I absolutely agree that those words have meaning and weight, and that you should be mindful of who your words affect.
His seeming obsession with crafting the perfect image does make me wonder why Joe Rogan is the sword he’s ready to fall on.
I wouldn’t assume that using “transvestite” as a throwaway insult years ago was indicative of any kind of position then, much less that it’s one that’s held firm until today. People just...say things. I know I’ve said things, probably even as recently as 2011 (which is apparently when he used that slur), that I’d now…
True. I also don’t think using “transvestite” as an insult 15-20 years ago (or whenever he said that, the point is I’m pretty sure it was no time recently) is the final say on whether or not you’re supportive of trans rights in 2022, because a lot of people have learned plenty about how hurtful such a slur can be, and …
I remember a few years ago, I had a pair of younger (probably early 20s at the time) female employees that were both gushing over what a nice guy he was. I showed them videos of his heel character in 1997-98, and they were alternately stunned and borderline in tears from laughing so hard.
It’s funny, very recently was wondering when the internet mob (no, I’m not some “cancel culture”-crying dipshit, but yes, Twitter is a space filled with irrational people on their histrionic bullshit who have their pitchforks out for no good reason) would come for Dwyane because of *waves in general direction of…
If you find me another lawyer besides Lionel Hutz that’s also licensed in real estate- since most of his clients end up losing their homes anyway- and is available to babysit, you let me know.
What an interesting way to admit that SCOTUS requires a higher level of scrutiny than being elected to the Senate, Lisa, considering your decidedly unexceptional, mediocre ass has taken up space there for 20 years.
How would the quality of other quarterbacks be reflected in his own performance? They don’t, y’know, actually play against each other. It’s not like he’s guarding Patrick Mahomes.
It’s a copout if you hear it once. If you keep hearing it, maybe not.
I’m married with two kids, and have a good enough job that lets me sit in my office and refute internet nonsense like “Tim Tebow was a good quarterback.”
There’s no dispute that being Black is a potential limiting factor to any coaching hire. The point here is that Bieniemy is probably not the right guy to hold up as an example of that.
You can call it an upgrade

They get paid a zillion dollars to hit a baseball into outer space. I don’t care if they inject horse tranquilizers directly into their eyeballs if it helps them entertain me.
