From DailyWire.com…
Jim Harbaugh, the University of Michigan football coach, has hired a former women’s basketball player as a graduate assistant quarterback coach for the football team. I have some thoughts.
Let’s begin with the fact this new coach is a former basketball player, and ask a necessary question: did Michigan football get better? I do not believe they did. If I, as a former football player, had interviewed for an assistant basketball coaching position at Georgetown, I would have been laughed out of the building and told there were other more qualified candidates.
For those saying this is only a graduate assistant position, remember, this is a graduate assistant quarterback coaching position at the winningest football program in the history of the sport — one of the most coveted opportunities in the country.
Many believe this hire is an exemplary decision by Michigan to add a female to their coaching staff. But why? Why is this exemplary? If we are supposed to say it is bad to hire someone solely based on sex, why can we say it is good to hire solely based on sex? Are we not still making mention of a person’s physical characteristics?
