We may have a Black President BEFORE we have a a dozen black coaches at major Division IAA schools...

NEW ORLEANS (AP) -- When Ohio State and LSU face off in the BCS championship game Monday night, some of the best on the field will be black players.

Then check out the sidelines. They might as well put out a "Whites Only" sign for the guys running the teams.

College football is stuck in a time warp, stubbornly hanging on to a segregated system that largely keeps minorities from landing the top coaching jobs.

Oh sure, every school has at least one or two black coaches on its staff, but they are generally limited to anonymous position jobs such as running backs coach or secondary coach -- spots that tend to have a large number of minority players.

"Ever since I've been in coaching, there's been that frustration ... of not feeling like you can reach the pinnacle of your career in terms of being a head coach," said LSU assistant head coach Larry Porter.

With another hiring season nearly complete, college football is left with just six black coaches among the 119 schools in the NCAA's top division -- the same number as this season.

Go back and do the math... How many black Division IAA coaches have been shit canned in recents years after only a couple of mediocre seasons??? Now what was the record of Charlie Weis at Notre Dame this year???
