Jemele Hill’s reaction to Sherrone Moore’s firing probably isn’t going to win her any new fans.
Let’s start with Moore. The 39-year-old was dismissed from his position as head coach of the football program at the University of Michigan on Wednesday.
The school initially revealed that it had fired him for cause, stunning just about everyone who wasn’t in the know or had at least heard about certain rumors.
Shortly after, it was announced that the former offensive line coach and offensive coordinator had been axed as a result of an inappropriate relationship with a staffer.
He was later arrested after breaking into the house of said staffer. It’s alleged that he threatened to kill her, as well as take his own life.
So what did Jemele Hill say?
The former ESPN analyst took to social media to suggest that race played a role in Moore’s termination.
“Though I think Sherrone Moore is a cornball, before we start painting his firing, Mel Tucker’s and Ime Udoka’s as some kind of indictment of Black male coaches, let me remind you of the following names,” she wrote.
She then went on to name “Hugh Freeze, Bobby Petrino, Rick Pitino, Mike Price, among others. The difference is in who gets a second chance to be a head coach. And you can guess who usually gets another chance.”
🚨🚨WILD🚨🚨

It’s also worth noting that it didn’t take Ime Udoka that long to coach in the NBA again after the Celtics fired him.
