   SMITH: You just wanted them to band-aid the issue for the moment to buy you   
   some time before you did what you wanted to do. The Houston Texans   
   organization are an atrocity. They are an embarrassment. And as far as I'm   
   concerned, if you're an African    
   American, and you aspire to be a head coach in the National Football League.   
   There are 31 teams that you should hope for. You should hope beyond God that   
   the Houston Texans never call you, not as long as that man is in there, and   
   something needs to be    
   said about it.   
      
   Why was Lovie Smith fired? The answer is that he went 3-13-1 in the prior   
   season coaching the Texans and the organization decided he clearly wasn't the   
   right fit. Sometimes, it's better to cut bait with a coach than waste multiple   
   years trying to force a    
   situation that isn't going to work. Lovie Smith is black, though, so the cries   
   of racism from Stephen A. Smith and others echoed throughout the sports media.    
      
   Guess what the Texans just did? They just won the AFC South with a different   
   black head coach. Yes, contrary to Stephen A. Smith's recommendation, now-head   
   coach Demeco Ryans did not "hope beyond God" that the Texans would never call   
   him. Instead, he    
   interviewed with the team and accepted the job when it was offered. Now, his   
   team is headed to the playoffs and Stephen A. Smith looks like an imbecile.
