Don't think that was Cosell, it was Jimmy "The Greek" Snyder. And he got fired or saying it

No, Howard Cosell said it on Monday Night Football in reference to Alvin Garrett. Greek had his own racial incident.

Jimmy was fired for stating that blacks cant be good coaches due to having the genetics for being good athletes or something to that extent.

That's probably it.

I know he said something to that extent.

It was Al Campanis that brought up "mental capacity, " Greek brought up breeding techniques from the 18th Century.
