Umm what?

David Culley is most definitely not Lebanese. Saleh is of Lebanese descent though.

Ok I should take your word for it I guess and not actual information. Both of his parents are of Lebanese decent. How does that make him African American? That's like calling me Caucasian when both my parents were Native Americans. You racist think your skin color dictates your race. It's pretty pathetic.

Well this is what I read from here (https://www.nbcwashington.com/news/sports/nbcsports/report-ravens-wr-coach-david-culley-to-be-hired-as-new-texans-head-coach/2553743/)

Culley is the second minority candidate to be hired this cycle and is the first African-American.

It’s been reported in many places. Here: https://www.houstonchronicle.com/texas-sports-nation/texans/article/As-NFL-criticized-for-minority-hiring-record-15904274.php

The Houston newspaper called him “black” and so if I made a mistake referring to where he was born, so be it. He’s been considered black in pretty much every report and then I added that Saleh as a Muslim is also considered by many to be a minority hire because I’m pretty sure he is the first.

Also, go fug yourself with your racist baiting. I didn’t assume, I recalled from reading about Bienemy not getting hired. Maybe you should stop assuming that Culley doesn’t consider himself black because he’s light skinned, asshole (referring to you not him).

This is exactly why racist don't think they are racist. Your skin color doesn't dictate your race. Yes he is probably the first Lebanese head football coach. That's great but it doesn't change the fact that no African American was even thought of seriously for a HC spot. It's been over 100 years since slavery ended yet African Americans are still in a country that doesn't want them. They were never meant to be citizens. They were ment for the same fate as my people. Put on reservations and striped of their heritage.

So funny when people get hit with the truth. I guess all minorities who stand up for their culture are idiots now right? We probably should just sit down and be quite right? 

I apologize for the tone of that message but I was extremely drunk. Regardless it's like you didn't read the any of the replies and just doubled down on your wrong position. Once again- David Culley IS NOT LEBANESE, and NEITHER ARE HIS PARENTS. He's an African American man from Tennessee.  Conversely, Robert Saleh IS Lebanese, as both his parents are Lebanese. This is exactly what he stated and you attacked him for hit, then when we tried to correct you, you doubled down on being wrong. I was in no way arguing against the fact that there needs to be more diversity at the head coaching and executive level in the NFL.

He is Lebanese. Here is the link and he was born in Michigan.

Per the source he has Lebanese parents. Yes he may be of African but Lebanese hold many cultural DNA markers. Some from Europe and some from Africa. Either way he's Lebanese American.

Oh interesting, I have never seen that his parents were lebanese from any other sources or that he was born in michigan. I stand corrected if true but something's not adding up. Pretty much every other source refers to him as african american and born in Sparta Tennessee. Kind of crazy to have two coaches of lebanese descent hired in one cycle if true.

    • When Parcell’s said Bryce better “walk on water”…..the implied concern wasn’t that the tiny QB could survive being hit.  It was acknowledging he would have to be extremely special to overcome the handicaps he would face at this level.  Which he isn’t and can’t.  which isn’t just being hit.  It’s being able to play in an NFL pocket and make NFL throws from it….and that ultimately is Bryce’s problem.  He doesn’t play well from a NFL pocket and can’t make all the throws as needed.  He can’t see as others can.  Which impacts the throws he does and doesn’t take.  It also impacts him bailing and killing plays and turning them into scrambles/dead plays 
    • 9:30 kick off here in Scotland, which is better than the 01:20 early hours of Monday that I feared. Will definitely be watching, but probably wouldn't if it had been 0120 as I need to be up for work at 05:45. Falcons Saints is 6pm on the Sunday so will watch that too if it becomes relevant
    • So much revisionist history around the pre-draft Bryce hype. The media was practically united in saying that if he were a couple inches taller he'd be the perfect prospect and it was just a question of whether he'd hold up in the NFL being that small. The Panthers did not create the mythos around him they were just the team that bought in. The team was largely praised for the move after and for surrounding him with what was considered an all-star coaching staff at the time.  Yeah part of the fanbase wanted Stroud but let's be real, we're coming from an oversized franchise QB who injured himself out the league. There was some analysis here on the limitations of Bryce's game but people were mostly just concerned he was going to turn into dust when he got sacked in the NFL.
