Both his daughters are very attractive and seem to take after their mom in looks.

 

But I think they also effectively make my point that "racial ancestry" and "appearance" don't necessarily align very well, so it's pretty silly for the guy I was answering to demand that McDaniel "23 and me" to verify the race of his father because McDaniel doesn't "look black"

I think it's actually the exception that proves the point. One of the components of racism is a very  broad and pervasive dominant culture that includes a programmed bias against dark skin. Passing as white is a thing because the cultural bias occurs very deep in the brain as an evolutionary trick of perception that encourages us to divide ourselves into tribes and has nothing to do with the person themselves or their ancestry.

Giants chose to show Daboll driving up to the facility in a truck

What they don't tell you is he jumped in the truck in Buffalo earlier that day, and only stopped at a couple of 7-11s, and an understocked Men's Wearhouse on the way there.

Hes not a nanny, Hes a football coach and it's a candid moment.

Worlds most violent sport.... that's ok, as long as coach doesn't say the bad sounds.

 

We should go after the troops and their dark senses of humor next! How dare they think different thoughts than me!!!

I was just joking I hear a lot worse at my job doing construction, but I am a Christian and I carry my self like one. Each to their own but I choose to serve the lord. No harm meant brother

I expect another sweep next season regardless of who they have as  HC

His stretch running plays rely on the opposing Defensive Tackles being undersized so his guards can over power them at the point of attack but if the defensive tackles are big and physical his offense fails to move the ball.

The rule would at least make some sense if the team he came from got one pick and the team that hired him got one pick. 

 

Other teams hire an Arab born in Michigan and a guy who is a 1/4th black and the 49ers get 4 valuable draft picks in 3 years...for doing absolutely nothing.

His dad is black ..

Bad move, Vic!  By next year, the most coveted defensive coordinator might be this guy:

Stretch zone actually involves doubling the two defensive tackles to nullify them in any event. The key to stopping the stretch zone is your rush end staying disciplined and your linebackers and safeties hitting the right gaps in fill technique.

He’s a really smart guy and most of the coaches under Shanahan Jr’s. Tree have been very successful. There’s an article out there about Robert Saleh hoping Miami doesn’t bring McDaniel to the AFC East. Saleh worked with McDaniel in Frisco. He obviously knows something

Hi my name is Josh Allen and welcome to MY division. I’ll be ruining things for say 15 years or so…

1) The calls for McDaniel to somehow validate his "Blackness" to the public are out of line.  If the league is satisfied he meets the letter of their law, that's enough

 

I don't personally care, but it should be noted that black people do, and they are not a fan:

I don't see any calls there for McDaniel to validate his "blackness"

 

But they're perfectly correct that this hire doesn't prove "no racism in the NFL"

 

And given that a big part of racism is the idea that people may be treated differently based strictly on their appearance (skin color), that's not a form of racism McDaniel has had to overcome

 

But that's very different than some of the calls saying he should have to "go get a 23 and Me and prove he is black to us" as though his account of his parental and family background isn't good enough and requires independent verification.  That's just weird.

I chalk it up to living life as a black man in a white world.  Growing up on the mean streets of Aurora, CO and going to Yale .. only to claw his way to the top of the NFL coaching ranks after spending an entire 365 days as a coordinator .. gotta be rough.  Don't hate the playa.  Hate the game.  Word.

To be fair McDaniel did not bring his race up. It isn't him driving this. On the 365 days, not sure that is right. This has been slightly misreported. He only had the title "offensive coordinator" for a year but that is because the 49ers had co-OCs for the prior three years. McDaniel was the run game coordinator and Mike LaFleur was the pass game coordinator. When LaFleur went to the Jets last year with Saleh they then just gave McDaniel the "Offensive Coordinator" title, but he was co-OC for three years before that. He has been a coordinator for four seasons.

lol, this is all of course the divine comedy of a racial spoils system where the boundaries get fuzzy (contrasted with ethnic distinctions which dominate the rest of the world and are the historic norm).  it reminds me of the old obscenity/pornography law debate where someone said "i can't define it, but i know it when i see it".  it gets interesting when two people look at the same thing and don't both see it. 

 

i do remember reading somewhere that this guys is a real wunderkid wrt to blocking and running and preparation, pretty similar to the rams HC.  this guy isn't as handsome or cool as mcvay seems, but being young might prove to be a big asset for nfl coaches.  soon, if not now already, they aren't managing squads of millenials but squads of zoomers, who often identify and relate move via internet subculture(s) rather than anything else.  i remember ditka was on tv after his failed stint as the new orleans HC, and when asked about what was different with the players of that day vs before (who at that point would all be no younger than youngish gen x) and he said he didn't understand the low self esteem they had because when they made a mistake they would say "me bad".  of course, they were saying "my bad" which is simply a claim of ownership, and one could read as a promise to focus more and do better next time, but it was entirely lost on ditka.

This reminds me of a time earlier in my career when I was in court in a case with a Jamaican defendant speaking in a pretty strong patois and ending almost every sentence with "you get me" and an old prim and proper English judge who at one point intervened in the process and asked the defendant "I'm sorry, but who was trying to get you?"
