College Coaching Career
Black joined the coaching staff at University of Tennessee-Chattanooga in 1980, and in 1983, became a wide receiver coach at University of South Carolina, and the school’s top recruiter. In 1987, Black left the program after he was passed over for a promised promotion to offensive coordinator in favor of Atlanta Falcons assistant coach Al Groh, who was white. South Carolina’s then-athletic director, Bob Marcum, denied that race played a role.

Famous quotes containing the words college and/or career:
“... when you make it a moral necessity for the young to dabble in all the subjects that the books on the top shelf are written about, you kill two very large birds with one stone: you satisfy precious curiosities, and you make them believe that they know as much about life as people who really know something. If college boys are solemnly advised to listen to lectures on prostitution, they will listen; and who is to blame if some time, in a less moral moment, they profit by their information?”
—Katharine Fullerton Gerould (1879–1944)
“In time your relatives will come to accept the idea that a career is as important to you as your family. Of course, in time the polar ice cap will melt.”
—Barbara Dale (b. 1940)
