How come Penny doesn't get the same support from our people as a coach, that Deion does as a coach?

because he isn't as big of a personality. There have been countless athletes-turned coaches that were black, Deion is Deion...1 of 1 for real. The closest would be if Terrell Owens or someone became a coach. I mean...who has talked about your boy Eddie George as a coach?
This ain't bout one of the GOAT Buckeyes. This about Penny and Deion.

Always deflecting:pacspit:

Good point.I'm trying to think who could move the needle as coach as much as Deion. Even Michael or LeBron probably wouldn't be the same. AI? Even AI is too "hood" for the masses. Deion is perfect because he has the swagger, but he's "safe", unlike AI.

Maybe the only guy who I could see coming even somewhat close in terms of being safe, charismatic, but still bringing the "cool' and relevance to today's youth would be Chad.

Why pit two black men against each other? Doesn’t seem productive.

The real answer is Deion busted the good ol boys, exclusionary CFB coaching mafia.

A black basketball coach isn't a ground breaking, cultural shift development.

Also, even when comparing white to white, football coaches are more revered than basketball coaches overall. The players in football are viewed as less important than the players in basketball, relative to the head coach/scheme of the team.
