Message: [QUOTE="Scrutineer, post: 4399576, member: 8240"] Do you have to politicize or make everything about race? Try understanding other points of view instead of using foregone conclusions to judge peoples' motives. Answer 1: President and CEO. No qualifiers. Answer 2. Disagree with me all you want, but think about her job. Her title is not "black, female, coach" for good reasons. First, it would be illegal, but most importantly to me, calling her anything other than simply coach or analyst could imply she is merely filling a quota rather than being the best person for the job. We can all see she's black and female so why mention it? Answer 3: Concerning "how difficult her journey to become a football coach has been relative to others". Difficult? According to Mora she deserves credit for her persistence in pursuing a position with him but to call it a difficult journey is a big leap. [B]Per the Journal Inquirer[/B]: The [B]29-year-old[/B] Grace is an offensive analyst on head coach Jim Mora’s UConn staff, working primarily with John Allen, the Huskies’ wide receivers coach. Grace comes to UConn after serving as Dartmouth’s assistant defensive line coach last season. She also has experience with the NFL’s Tampa Bay Buccaneers and Los Angeles Rams, serving as a training camp intern for the former and a scouting apprentice for the latter. Her resume shows: 2016-21 Mastery Charter School Defensive coordinator 2017-18 Philly Phantomz Defensive line coach 2018 Tampa Bay Buccaneers Training camp intern 2020-21 Los Angeles Rams Scouting apprentice 2021-22 Dartmouth College Assistant defensive line coach Be realistic and think about the fact she never played the game she wants to coach and is only six or seven years out of college. There are probably several thousand experienced players who complete their eligibility every year (so in six or seven years there might be 20,000), many of whom would like to become coaches. They all have more experience than she has and yet Mora hired her. That, according to him, was a testimony to her persistence and her potential but calling her "journey relative to others" difficult is a reach. UConn has gained wide fame and credit for the successes of its women's basketball and field hockey teams and Mickey Grace may become a great coach but let's not diminish her position by adding qualifiers to her title.
