[@kyriekyrie4752]

True. Because nothing in America is EVER about RACE. Not even since it’s inception to date.

[@jamesmitchell9200]

He didn't make it about race. He made it about football. The points he made were fair. Kingsbury has yet to prove himself worthy of these types of opportunities. He pointed out that there are black coaches out there with similar credentials that haven't received the opportunities he has. That's all. There's no need to get so caught up in that subtle point of many that you fail to consume the entirety of his argument; which is that Kingsbury's hiring as OC in DC doesn't make much football sense. That isn't to suggest that Kingsbury is incapable of finding success ultimately, either. Nothing he said was unfair or out of line.

[@josephwebb2368]

@@josephwebb2368 we don't know that for sure. He may, of course, but if he does, is that a terrible thing? What if he has a point? While race isn't always a factor or even the only factor, it doesn't mean we have to be dismissive of the argument when it's made. At least hearing him (and others) out can go a long way. Even if you ultimately disagree, it's alright to at least give consideration to the concerns and complaints someone has on the topic, whatever it may be.

[@mallurypollard7815]

This is one of those tricky race things, but I’ll take a shot at sharing my perspective and opinion. White people can forever innocently claim that they hire people based off their credentials and merit and race has nothing to do with it. This may sound extreme, but stay with me: just based on history, and how white people have built and run a lot of stuff over a very long time, a white person can get jobs and opportunities in life, where they literally will not have to encounter a single person of color to get the “yes” they need. And people of color, Black people specifically, will run into ceilings and gate keepers that are white people, most of the time, that have to say “yes” for them to get where they want to go. Is racism over? We’ll never know the hearts and minds of every single person at all times. But black people have lived through times where racism was real and factual and they were told “no” simply because they are Black. It’s not so easy for Black people to just forget or ignore that fact, so when moments like this come up, we naturally think race is a part of it, and we have good reason to think that. That’s why the EB situation sets SAS off. You can claim racism to be over, but until Black people get the “yes” they need from a white person in a moment like this, a part of us will think race was at play, and a white person walked into the opportunity without as much of a hassle or need to prove themselves. No one waste time calling me a victim. Have Black people succeeded? Yes. Can Black people hire other Black people? Of course. Not every story is the same. But when it comes to this particular EB situation and black and white stuff, I’m just pointing out a truth that has existed based on history in our country. EB needed a yes from yet another white guy and didn’t get it.

[@africanotomotiv]

Ok, but does this mean that that's the metric by which every other hire must be measured? Everyone else on the panel judged the situation on what the merits are, and yet SAS has to inject race. At that point, in my view, he fails to be objective. If Kingsbury doesn't qualify for whatever reason, let the argument be on the merits (or lack thereof), not race.

[@tjrose9830]

Hopefully SAS won’t say he shouldn’t be a OC because that’s not true. Kliff is a good offensive oriented coach but it didn’t work out for the cardinals due to the lack of talent on the OL which led to Kyler having to overcome the situation by being a runner in situations that a good OL wouldn’t need him to be. It led to him having to either throw the ball quicker then needed or hold the ball longer then necessary through scrambling also. Hopefully in Washington they address the OL and make the running back more important in the offense so whoever the QB is won’t receive the punishment Sam Howell brought to himself.

[@drums3269]

SAS is low-key mad that Bienemy got let go, so he's taking it out on the Kingsbury hire. Kingsbury has developed some of the game's skilled QB's, and he has a good offense oriented mind.

[@jamalbutler7307]

He hasn't developed anybody. It's a big difference between knowing someone and developing someone as SAS said. EB should've gotten another chance under the new management,,I mean he did win 3 Superbowls with Pat MaHomes.

[@shawnsimmons8693]

He has developed no one

[@louisiana318]

I'm a die- hard Commanders fan, yet I don't like this move or the head coaching choice... Kliff ain't it but I hope both hires prove me wrong... HAIL !

[@ForzaMilan-di2zd]

Unfortunately nobody available. HC or Coordinators. Top 3 all stayed except Macdonald. I’m not struck on Quinn, feels similar to Rivera Hire

[@anthonyclark9441]

What Team does Stephen A run again? Who cares if HE likes the hire, or not? Kingsbury was a rising Coach, and should get a shot at being an OC at the least, because he is a brilliant Offensive mind, and he was a decent College QB. I'm a lifelong Washington fan, and I'm ok with this. Dan Quinn? Not so much.

[@ProlificShorts504]

its not what ya know its who you know

[@TMZahida226]

What happens is if the Bears take Caleb and Washington is stuck with Kingsbury calling plays for Sam Howell? 😐😑

[@justincosing5227]

There are other QBs in the draft…… Drake Maye and Jayden Daniels just to name a few.

[@Jzav987]

Williams has already let Chicago know he doesn't want to play there and will probably force a trade the way Eli did when the chargers took him.

[@webberthehedgehog]

Also, Washington is perfectly fine with that outcome. Howell ran an air raid style offense in college. So did Drake Maye. Kingsbury runs a similar air raid offense and liked working with young QBs. This is a great hire no matter which way you look at it

[@giles815]

Something SAS seems to be leaving out: it’s about relationships in the coaching world. So yes, shmoozing can get you places but eventually if results don’t meet expectations it no longer works

[@NosyNorseman]

With all the different hires last couple of years the race card doesn’t seems to work anymore for the Eric Bieniemy HC talks.., so let’s use it when a white guy (former HC) gets an OC opportunity 😞 No talks on EB … as his OC season was a disaster.. so that kind of talk doesn’t fit the ESPN narrative anymore 😊

[@ClifWynn]

Kingsbury’s bad offense is the reason Kyler got hurt. Kingsbury did hold him back.🫵🏽

[@FernandoGonzalez-eh9zw]

Stephen A needs to stick to talking basketball only, do ur homework my guy and look up Kliffs numbers as an OC…

[@percybedford6266]

As a Washington fan I hated the Dan Quinn hire as well. They weren't able to close the deal on Harbaugh.

[@tjrose9830]

You’re crazy it’s a good hire Washington depleted Dallas Def coaches, Dallas defense players during free agency will want to come in which will upgrade the commanders defense. Jim wasn’t going to go to Washington without a clear QB situation.
