		<description>This discussion gets on the wrong foot, when it is simply limited to the two coaches listed, Gill and Chizik. In ALL due respect to Gill, he is NOT the most qualified BLACK coach Auburn could have interviewed. That is ONE of the reasons is was SIMPLY a TOKEN interview.

Limiting the discussion to Chizik vs Gill is totally not taking into account the other MORE QUALIFIED BLACK coaches who did NOT EVEN GET AN INTERVIEW.

There is NO other explanation of the current state of black coaches in college football but the question of RACE.  

Many of these institutions are private, but many of them are state funded public institutions and laws can be passed to regulate their hiring and interviewing practices. 

To argue that we cannot give a coach a job based on race, takes away a MAIN solution. We KNOW there are MANY coaches who are black who are qualified for these positions, so by that measure there a less qualified WHITE coaches who have head coaching positions who WOULD NOT HAVE THEM IF THEY WERE BLACK (check KIFFEN @ Tennessee)

The only group that has the REAL power to create change is the parents and recruits. They need to demand answers and consider going to HBUC to make a point.

They will get solid coaching at the HBUC and scouts will find you WHEREVER U ARE. Besides DUKE, OU, PENN STATE, TEXAS, USC, etc. would not have such GREAT coaches without the TOP talent. 

There are some great coaches at HBUC who dont get the talent, so you really dont get to know HOW good the coaches truyl are.</description>
