Texas booster bashes Strong hire

[N.AL-Tider]

His wife his white, somewhere in the bible it says you can't have a white wife, or something like that...   

For the record, Moses (Israelite so that makes him kinda white, kinda brown) was married to an Ethiopian (black) woman... Does that help?

I have a chocolate lab, a white Tundra, & Puerto Rican wife. Does that mean anything?

help me out here, where is the offensive comment?

There is a long line of attitude that blacks aren't as smart as whites, hence they can't play QB, can't coach, etc.  This comment, that Strong maybe can be an underling but not the head guy, is exactly the same attitude, and will be perceived as such.  Sometimes intention isn't the issue.

I really don't see that. The rich guy thinks Texas can do MUCH better than get a coach at a 2nd tier program, instead of an NFL, SEC, or other big name coach. It's that Texas arrogance, period. Our nation is getting way too thin-skinned about everything.

I think you shook your computer a bit too hard.

Whether there was any racism behind the comment or not, in the current cultural climate it will be taken as such.  He should know better. 

That's in addition to the stupidity of announcing to potential recruits that the school is not unified behind the new coach. 

Strong appears to be a good coach and will probably do better than Brown post 2009.  There are only a handful of elite coaches in the country, and most of them are already established in good jobs.  Alabama got lucky that Saban was available the year Shula proved he was not going to get it done at Bama.

I don't know if this "mega booster" is actually unhappy with the coaching hire or unhappy the new AD did not consult him and other prominent boosters to get their approval prior to hiring a new coach.

Everything is bigger in Texas including booster's egos.

Exactly! The guy has donated $100 mil so he thinks he should have MAJOR input in decisions.

He apologized and supports the hire.

Boosters are funny people.

McCombs apologized for those comments Thursday, telling the San Antonio Express-News he had spoken to Strong over the phone and cleared the air, telling Strong the new Longhorns head man had his "total support.
