This is blocked at my work, but knowing it's by Britt, I'm sure he's ripping the Wolves for dumping Newton and no creating a consultant spot for a guy that wants to be 1000 miles away? Britt's a Country Club apologist, so I'm guessing he's not being favorable in this. I'll have to read it when I get home.
You're confusing him with somebody else.
No, I'm pretty sure it was Britt that kissed SMitch's ass this past winter, giving him excuses for why he shouldn't be fired.
And no, race has nothing to do with it.
I haven't viewed Robson as a country club apologist in the past, but I do think that after the sit down interview with SMitch he viewed the coach in a much more favorable light and it was reflected in the writing.
I think it's fair to ask the race question in this instance. Taylor spent money he didn't have to in the process of giving one white guy the jobs/authority of two black men.
I also think that anybody who can't see that Thibs is a better candidate for the job than SMitch and Milt and an excellent hire is likely being deliberately obtuse. Which is probably why someone with a larger audience than Robson hasn't talked about it.
