So you know for a fact they applied for the job? Let me answer no you don't so don't play the race card.
It's official, Richmond Coach has resigned
- Thread starter RaiderDaddy
- Start date
Let me answer for myself! Yes Aarond Brand applied. I inquired why there has never been a black coach hired @ Richmond? You bring up Race Card. That make no sense and speak volumes of how you think.
That type systamatic response is a deep rooted problem with some of you guys & why you continue to fall short, and will continue to chase, until you get a clue!
This is what you said. "Is Richmond AGAINST hiring a black man" like Richmond against black coaches.
@Nepsy I am a former Richmond Raider and I will go on record saying until some of these dinosaurs die thats when Richmond Co. may consider a blk coach; 95% of the team is black, Castellano was the closes your going to get to being blk as well as being able to relate to the players; Now I will give Brad this he understand the program and the youth in Ruchmond Co.
It was a question moron? Your insulted by me asking a question? You're telling on yourself!
I know what i said. I'm not hiding from the question, but you are definitely flipping it to something else. Please explain how a school that has never hired a Head Black coach, and passing up black candidates on a regular, and me asking why? Considered playing the race card?
PLEASE EXPLAIN rcoraider98???????

Nepsy back to your question and response, trying to get back on track here. I agree, if Brand applied, hard to argue against him especially with what was chosen. He has been involved in winning at every stop he has been and has mentored under some impressive people (especially Knotts). However, we are not privy to the interview sessions and particulars involved....so in the end who knows why......

Back in the early 70s I believe Rickie Ricardo was assistant coach. He was brown skinded(not black or white or red skinded)
dcov nice to hear from you ole carlester moore. wha.t you said the same thing last time. you should know. are u refering to the neckwork
Raiderstud, always enjoy your post and not trying to be offensive in no way but maybe that is our problem. We as Raider fans tend to evaluate and judge and based off of what? How are we experts, judges and jurors of Raider football? Comparing coaches, teams and players to our rich past is fun but not fair or productive. Do we really know what goes on in that locker room, meeting room or at our players homes? Maybe we should stick to supporting and enjoying Raider football and less time evaluating and judging. The players and coaches evaluate each other a lot more in depth and better than we ever will. Just my 2 cents
I know that two African Americans head coaches applied after Coach Hoggard left and I understood that Coach Brand was going to apply this go around. The two in 2014 were Coach King from Hillside and Maurice Flowers formerly of West Charlotte and college positions including D2 OC. I understood why Flowers did not get the job but I would have hired Flowers and told him zero tolerance policy. We got your back but do it right. They would have been a force to deal with.
Not sure if this would be the best fit for Coach Brand but the players would love playing for him and I think fans would love the results. He is from a small town in southwest Virginia and he "gets" the players.
I have known coaches that were hired more from the interview and the plan they presented but guys with great resumes fell out of favor due to the interview and plan they presented. Sometimes the perfect football job for the potential coach is not a good move for the family.
Time will tell...

As i said at the time. There was no way they were hiring King or Flowers and though i didnt say it this time I knew the same would be in place with Brand. That takes nothing away from Till and he may in fact be a very good coach.

That hammer trophy was stolen, as it will soon be used if they experience a loss sir
@Mr. Swett...sometime losing ain't that bad... alot to be learned from it... better than lose in the last game...I think Richmond is gonna be alright. This new coach looks pretty good... we can't win it all every year...I think alot of teams are coming out of denial..."who is this guy? He could do big things at Richmond"...GO RAIDERS...
Gotta go with the flow my friend...we're in it now...so I say GOOD LUCK.
You see Ben Badd, you and I were worried bout the announcement date
Everyone else: The caliber of the new coach
Well we had the date down if it matters...I ist hope everybody let it go now and let the gentleman do his job.. the sooner the better for Raider Country.
