Coach Prime has a limited window in which to sell the "Cult of Personality" but it well known in sports that black players don't always warm up to black coaches. Most didn't grow up with a black father in the home so they don't always perceive a black coach as being the same authority as a non-black. That's just the God's honest truth that applies in College and the Pro ranks.
Jesus Christ. I also love the way you pass off the "most black players didn't have a father in the home" line as if it's an undisputed fact.
Black families were stronger during the worst periods of American history than they are today. Since 1968, there has been a fourfold increase in the number of unmarried parents, according to Pew Research. But Census data show this trend especially applies to black families: In 2020, just 41.3% of black kids were growing up in a two-parent home...
Take it to the Tug!
But in all seriousness, I don't see how this is a defense. There's undoubtedly a self-selection that filters out many fatherless black kids from ever reaching the point where they're still in school, staying football eligible, and meeting the NCAA minimum requirements to even play college football. So absent better dats, baselessly claiming that a majority of black college football players grew up fatherless is indeed some Jimmy the Greek amateur anthropology shit.
