Coach was NOT racist

His complaint was that he felt used- he was the coach's workhorse, gaining all the yardage, but denied the touchdowns in favor of another receiver or a running back. There's no way of telling whether he was a racist or not, or whether his decisions were based on the WR's race.
but when a wide receiver has all this yardage on his stats and only two TD's all season, I can see why he might think that. And such a skewed stat would definitely have some bearing on his recruitment value as well.
I dont need you to tell me how good my coffee is.

The black kid claimed the coach was racist but was there any evidence of this other than his say so.?
Who needs proof? You call white folks racist and they are trained to retreat. Truth and proof have no place in it.

Maybe I need to watch it again but
The black kid was a running back, not a receiver. He ground out all the yards and then when they were in a goal-to-go situation, the coach would call the QBs number or a pass play to a white WR. He did mention that the only time he'd score is if he broke a longer run over 20 yards.
From the games they
did
show, those short scoring TDs went to Scott Caan's character who seemed more like a slot receiver, Wes Welker type, than a prototypical wideout.
Anyway, the black kid had a case. If they're a run-first team, you'd at least try to score on the ground some of the time. On the other hand, any college scout that knows what they're doing could see the talent is there just in getting all those yards and noticing in the stats that he has no carries in goal-to-go situations.

2)It was made clear the coach liked a running game. Hence wide receiver not getting many touchdown passes as easier/safer for team to bulldoze it into the end zone.
You posted this in a different thread and I replied there, so I won't reply completely here, but Wendell was a running back not a receiver. Kilmer's reliance on running the ball should lead to lots of TD's for a running back. -

The other complaint that people didn't mention was that the coach was not helping the running back at all when it came to getting him a football scholarship. He implied that the coach was willing to help out others with a letter or phone call but was not helping him out and how his mother was the one having to get scouts to come watch her son play.

I actually dont buy it.
If He was, he wouldnt have even been on the team, and if anything, he was a lot tougher on the white guys.
