Poll: If Woody were Black would he have been fired?
With the John Chaney situation getting so much attention, I started thinking about this.
If Woody were black, would he have been able to finish his coaching career or would he have been fired anyways.

I would argue that if Chaney was white, he'd have been fired before now. |

What do we win if we guess this one right?
Anyway, the correct answer is that he wouldn't have been hired. How many black head coaches had been hired before, say, 1960? Make it even tougher, by limiting it to what is now division one. Make it impossible, and limit it to football coaches. I don't know for sure, but would guess zero.
