Football and racism, again
A follow-up to my previous post. Here is Tyrone Willingham's own assessment of the"race issue" upon his prompt hiring as head coach of Washington after having been fired at Notre Dame:
"I've laid the right foundation," Willingham said."I've been respectful to myself and to the programs I've been associated with. Others recognize that and look at the quality of the man. It doesn't matter if he's black, white, brown, yellow or red. You're just a man who does things right."
Hear, hear.
