They didn’t hire McCown (and shouldn’t have because he doesn’t have experience or done anything to earn it). They only hired Lovie because he’s black. Which is it?
Lovie wasn’t the only black coach or qualified coach available, you know.
It can be both. They aren’t mutually exclusive.
Like Spark said, they sure as hell weren’t gonna hire Flores…. who was qualified as well. It was a move to save their face. That’s all. Word was out on McCown and they realized there was a lot of liability and backlash, so they hired Lovie. Why not hire Flores? Why not go ahead and hire McCown? They knew better after that lawsuit. There was no way to justify it, so they pivoted.
