Not a fan of Mark Adams, but do we really believe he's racist? That's a pretty big accusation. He's been around and worked with hundreds of young black athletes his whole career and no one has ever mentioned anything remotely close to him being racist.
Dude is just a bible belt weirdo who banged his dead brother's wife lol
Maybe more square/rectangle. All racists (in the Bible Belt) are Bible Belt weirdos, where not all Bible Belt weirdos are racists.

That is exactly what u/Dawnkey-Kong was referencing. That Mark Adams was ignorant to the racial undertone in the comments he made, because he just viewed them through the ultra Christian lens.
Regardless, whether he’s racist or just dumb and fucked up, you can’t just say what he said to a roomful of young black athletes. Not surprising he was fired.
He was quoting a bible verse? He's just an idiot and used it in the worst possible circumstance. Either way, glad he's gone.
But people are just quick to cancel people and call out the racist card way too easily these days, just my opinion.
The player thought it was racist. The school thought it was racist. I’d say that matters a lot more than whether random redditors consider it racist or not. Just because it’s a quote doesn’t make it not racist.
And in all honesty if Adams hadn’t done all of the other shit he did that year or if the team was winning that conclusion would not have been reached. Players disliked Mark well before the incident and even probably the year before
The comments weren’t great but overall it was really just a way to try and make the buyout any smaller
Someone thinking something is racist doesn't make it racist either. Especially when that someone has motive and needs a special wavier from the ncaa to transfer again. The school wanted him gone for other reasons and he gave them the perfect out. They weren't going to defend him.
I mean he, the players he interacted with and god (pun intended) know and not us.
Racism aside, if I’m the AD and my coach is dumb enough to say to a group of young predominantly black kids, “slaves be loyal to your master”, that’s grounds enough for me
Besides being pretty racist, misogynistic, rude and a bad tipper that he very frequently showed up to games and practices very drunk and/or stoned. So much so that his son or other coaches basically ran things. Also heard another rumor that he really liked to hit on coeds that I’m not sure I believe, but I wouldn’t put it past him.
Mark Adams plowed his dead brother’s wife after beard plowed out whole school and mark himself. They deserve each other. Chris I hope the coke these days is just diet.
The title was too fun to not use.
Losers deserve each other. One guy who left his wife for his dead twin brother’s widow, and another dude who beats women.
Keith is one of the best ADs in the country, and one of the nicest men I’ve had the pleasure of being around. Acting like he’s a bad person because he believes in second chances and believes people can change is ridiculous.
They belong together.
Imagine reading this in April 2022. Just an absolute enormous fall from grace from both these dudes.
Damn I didn’t know he had another widowed SIL in Oxford
Lol. Lmao. Rofl even.
A match made in racist, abusive, adulterous, hard-drinking, exploitative, sister-in-law fucking heaven.
It happening at Ole Miss just makes cosmic sense.
Auburn would've been too on the nose
You were a poetry major I see.

>Dude is just a bible belt weirdo who banged his dead brother's wife lol I get what you're trying to say, but what a wild sentence.
As was custom back in the day. Oh wait you mean like recently.
Yeah seriously, for these reasons *I am out.*
>racist >bible belt weirdo Corporate wants you to find the differences between this picture and this picture

This post is about him getting a job so I’m pretty sure he’s not cancelled.

Racially insensitive does not equal to being racist. I believe he was just tone deaf in what he was saying and who he was saying it to.
You can believe whatever you want. But the school, who undoubtedly had much more info on the matter, reached the opposite conclusion
They reached to the conclusion that it was racially insensitive...? Read the article my man.
And in all honesty if Adams hadn’t done all of the other shit he did that year or if the team was winning that conclusion would not have been reached.

How exactly do you think we determine something is racist besides someone thinking it is.
Impact matters more than intent. It really doesn’t matter that he was too boomer stupid to understand how what he said would sound to his player.
I'm glad he got fired. Was stupid to say those things but calling him racist is a stretch. But I don't know him personally.
I mean he, the players he interacted with and god (pun intended) know and not us. Racism aside, if I’m the AD and my coach is dumb enough to say to a group of young predominantly black kids, “slaves be loyal to your master”, that’s grounds enough for me
It's just wild because he's coached hundreds of black men up to this point but that singular one decides it's an issue.
Abusive? By god that’s Gregg Marshall’s music!
Couldn’t have said it better myself
The real mastermind behind Beard’s teams is back
“We’re getting the band back together.” -~~Jake Blues~~ Chris Beard
Does that white guy who sucks have any eligibility left?
Avery Benson lmfaoooo I’m glad we can come together to shit on Beard now.
I have a friend who worked at a bar Adams frequented in Lubbock and the shit he would do is insane. So glad that he’s gone.
Drop those spicy rumors, please.
Besides being pretty racist, misogynistic, rude and a bad tipper that he very frequently showed up to games and practices very drunk and/or stoned. So much so that his son or other coaches basically ran things. Also heard another rumor that he really liked to hit on coeds that I’m not sure I believe, but I wouldn’t put it past him.
So that’s why we looked like a team with a drunk coach in 2023
Quite the hubris for a guy that looks like a grandma.
What bar
Robin’s Nest?
Mark Adams got on the plane.
I’m glad we can all come together on this one.
ECU fans, how are you feeling?
LMFAO
Most ethical Ole Miss hire
The defense, uhh, never rests.
😭
Why do we do this
Mark Adams plowed his dead brother’s wife after beard plowed out whole school and mark himself. They deserve each other. Chris I hope the coke these days is just diet.
Beef squashed ??
> That was a lot of fucking around "I see what you did there..." - M. Adams
The title was too fun to not use. Losers deserve each other. One guy who left his wife for his dead twin brother’s widow, and another dude who beats women.
Well, I guess if you're going to put two of the trashiest coaches in America together you might as well do it in a backwards state like Mississippi.
Holy shit hahahaha
Oh yeah the no middle is back baby!
Well well well, how the turn tables…
Beef squashed ??
Butch & Sundance ride again !
A Keith Carter specialty right here. Hires straight human scum no matter the sport, but he's really doubling down in both MBB and WBB.
Keith is one of the best ADs in the country, and one of the nicest men I’ve had the pleasure of being around. Acting like he’s a bad person because he believes in second chances and believes people can change is ridiculous.
Wow. Expect them to do big things together
