Why does he HAVE to hire someone of color?
Kids don't want to come to Laramie and not have anyone they can't relate to on staff. It's one thing when you go play at a power conference school or in a place with a significant minority (read: black) population, but without someone on staff that makes potential recruits feel comfortable about a place they'd otherwise feel skeptical about (or you know, a friend on the team...) then they're just not going to make it work.
You might not like it, but it's not so much about being "PC" as much as it's about being able to compete in a recruiting game that's stacked against Wyoming in pretty much every way.
