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.

      Dan looking at a new Conerback!!!

      Nothing wrong with starting to look for bodies early. It's a long injury filled season. I doubt we get through unscathed.

      Adam Theilen said he came back to play with Bryce, and he expects the Panthers to surprise some people

      By Icege · Posted

      We're in alignment regarding Thielen not being a game changer/breaker for the Panthers. Getting the ball into hands of playmakers like TMac and XL is going to open up things more than it is getting it to Thielen underneath (or letting him go after 50/50 balls 20yds downfield in his mid-30s). However, in a room where the other guys are two second year guys and two rookies, having a reliable vet that they can learn from is just as important as it is for the QB to have as a reliable third option. I can see that being worth $8.5M (just 3%) of the $279.2M cap... especially when looking at what's left out there: https://www.spotrac.com/nfl/free-agents/_/position/wr However, the idea that the team is forcing production to Thielen and leading to losses isn't supported by the data. Targets, not receiving yards, are how you can tell if a player is being "force fed." In the two games mentioned, let's look at the other players available... vs. TB 10 targets - Adam Thielen 9 targets - David Moore 8 targets - Tommy Tremble, Xavier Legette 3 targets - Jonathon Brooks 1 target - Dan Chisena, Feleipe Franks, Stephen Sullivan vs. PHI 11 targets - Adam Thielen 8 targets - Xavier Legette 5 targets - Chuba Hubbard, David Moore 2 targets - Tommy Tremble 1 target - Ja'Tavion Sanders, Deven Thompkins There isn't exactly a bounty of other names to throw the ball to. In those games, AT was one of the top 2 WRs. Diontae had been gone by that point.   So... yea. Agreed that Thielen isn't exactly carrying the team in his mid-30s, but it's undeniable that he was the most reliable target last season that still has quite a bit of value this season. Whether or not that value is reflected in a manner folks think on the contract is going to come down to personal taste. However, the idea that the team was forcing production to AT and that was the reason behind some losses couldn't be further from the truth.

      I would also add that I think it's more than money.  AT has looked absolutely miserable out there at times, and there was a lot of speculation he would demand to be traded.  Personally, I thought he was a lock to be moved last year.  Maybe his hamstring is the only thing that prevents that from happening. The fact that he's not only willing to come back and play, but excited about it, really bodes well for Bryce.  AT is a veteran and he knows the game.  If he didn't have confidence in Bryce, I guarantee you he wouldn't be in a Panther uniform this year.  I'll take that as a positive.
