    Firing Colorado's coach Jon Embree was RACIST says...

    Bill McCartney




    Former Colorado coach Bill McCartney said racism was a factor in Jon Embree's firing from the Buffaloes head position after only two years on the job in Boulder.

    In a radio appearance, McCartney said the school did not give Embree, who is black, the same opportunity to build up his program as his white predecessors had at Colorado and that race motivated the administration's failure to stick with Embree.

    Sammy, stats don't lie pal.

    However, this firing had nothing to do with race. They plain sucked and were getting worse. Mccartney just standing up for a former player so he's a bit biased.

    Kraker , I'm sure McCartney is biased but he is also practicing bigotry of low expectations

    Jon Embree just pushed back respect for black coaches about 30 years by flashing the race card in his farewell press conference

    Ya, you won't catch me defending either Mccartneys or Embrees actions. Schools gonna be more hesitant to hire blacks if when they go 4-21 and get fired they pull the race card. Looks bad for everyone involved, including CU simply by association. This is not pretty.

    I hate the race card. Racism does exist but if the black coach is successful he will be employed. I bet Kevin Sumlin is not going anywhere soon...

    White coaches have been fired and rehired unlike black coaches but it is usuallly a step down unless your Gene Chizik and Auburn just had to have a 5-19 coach.

    It's bullshit to only give a coach 2 years.

    But the buffs were so goddamn bad this year - I am not surprised.

    I didn't realize embree was black until he was fired. I was wondering if the buffs even had a coach with some of the lines this year.

    CU has been buried in mediocrity for years. The coach was not getting the job done and CU was regressing. Do not see how race was a factor. If it was they never would have hired him.

    It was a terrible hire 2 years ago.. was never even a coordinator but gets hired to be a head coach...

    Win now society.. college coaches don't have the 4 year window anymore..
    Gotta atleast be competitive with former coaches recruits to stay around.. look at Kelly at nd.. those seniors are weIs recruits.. people around nd were calling for his head if they didn't have a big year..

    Ellis Johnson got canned after a year at southern miss

    Franklin at vandy turned them around real quick..

    Bottomline...win quick and win often or risk being fired doesn't matter if your white black Asian

    Yep, racism.

    The guy went 4-21. Nothing wrong with that.

    A white guy would've gotten an extension.

    Also expectations need to be managed from school to school.
    7 and 5 and a bowl invite might fly at conn
    But that won't fly at a Florida or Tennessee etc
    .. just look at Ron zook..

    Fan base like Colorado should be able to expect bowl appearances and at the very least being competitive in games
    This year they lost to sac state a mid level fcs team.. and lost by 28 or more. 8 times.. yikes

    One more thing just off the top of my head
    Nd has fired 3 coaches over past 10 years that had winting records..

    Terry Bowden fired from Clemson with a solid record..
    Solich canned at Nebraska.

    All about meeting expectations

    This year alone frank spanazi, tom o brien and tedford have more of a complain than embree

    Ooo and last thing before embree throws out the race card
    Rob Ianello fired from Akron after back to back 1 win seasons so the race card in this case is junk.. meet expectations or get canned

    Why does holding minorities accoubtable mean racism. They sucked and were getting worse. The coach at Stanford and Tex AM are top ten teams who compete for BCS bowls are They getting fired? That would be racism- if Buffalowas racist would they have hired a black coach in first place?!?

    well the part with romney is true, blacks are ignorant and only voted for obama because he was black,that is racism, but look they are ignorant like I said and deserve to get what is coming to them. Live on that ebt card and enjoy being unemployed there entire life.

    I don't think he was saying he got fired because of his race. He was saying that because of his race he won't get a 2nd chance to coach. The statistics for a black coach getting re-hired after being fired is like 1 in 41 coaches.

    Obviously his record stated the reason why he got fired. 4-21 in two years isn't anything to be happy about nor anything good for the future.

    His main concern was the players doing well in school. Colorado football players has had the highest GPA while he was coaching, that is very important don't get me wrong but, that's not his job. His job is to win football games and he simply didn't do that.

    This is data snooping. If the low second chance % didn't fit they would bring up less booster support and if that didn't fit, overall lower level recruits than under white coaches and if that didn't fit, higher % of unhealthy fried chicken in the team cafeteria and if that didnt fit, etc. etc.
