I think that there would be "issues" in some of the old South areas or in several areas up North. For example, I think it might be a problem in Alabama, Mississippi, Georgia, South Carolina and Tennessee. Frankly, I am not sure it would really be a big deal anymore. If the school has had a black coach previously, I don't think the interracial marriage would be that big of a deal. If the school had never had a black head coach before, then the interracial marriage would just be one more reason to dislike the coach.
Prejudice in the North is strangely more troublesome. If you ask, people will deny their prejudice but act it out anyway. Oddly, the KKK is still alive and well in the North.
