DeBerry Didn't Get Fired!?
College Football Coach for Air Force keeps his job after saying...
DeBerry mentioned that the Horned Frogs "had a lot more Afro-American players than we did and they ran a lot faster than we did."
"It just seems to me to be that way," he continued. "Afro-American kids can run very well. That doesn't mean that Caucasian kids and other descents can't run, but it's very obvious to me that they run extremely well."
This was DeBerry's response to the 10-48 ass kicking his team took from TCU.
TCU's QB put up 302 passing yards, completed 20 of 28 passes for 2 TD's and ran 6 times for 42 yards, scoring another TD. TCU also rushed for 4 more TD's.
Essentaially, The Air Force Falcons can't stop the passing game, TCU QB stated "It was like pitch-and-catch"
Seems like those white Cornerbacks can't keep up with black Receivers.
Well, that makes sense.
How many white Cornerbacks can you name in the NFL?
I'll help you, since Jason Seahorn retired, none.
Air Force has other issues to deal with...
Due to post-collegiate service requirements and physical limitations regarding military craft, Air Force is somewhat hindered in its recruitment of football players. Using schemes that minimize those disadvantages, DeBerry is 164-99-1 with the Falcons, guiding them to 12 bowl games.
Pretty impressive.
However, DeBerry should have known better.
I understand his frustration, he is not playing on a level playing field.
Maybe next time he should say something like this...
We have a squad full of young men that have had the honor of serving their country with dignity, becoming good citizens in the country they have heroicly represented, and will be successful components in the fu2r of this great country. These young (read black) men beat us today, but at best, 3 of them will make it to the NFL.
I only hope the rest of these young (again, read black) men have spent time in class to learn something, or they will be a drain on our society. College scholarships for football only last so long.
Would that have been better?
Or would that have been way more insensitive?
I'm glad DeBerry apologized, I know he made his comments out of his frustrating year, but you can't say things like that in his position.
Also, I'm glad he apologized because it saved his job.
And a damn good job he's done, considering the hurdles that he has in front of his team.
