  Assuming this is the first incident anyways.     If they have been talked to about it several times and continue pointedly using this phrase and other similar ones despite sensitivity training etc. it’s racist as hell and damned near harassment.
context: In diversity training wouldn’t that saying be used as example of outdated lanquage and its consequences ? >
  
  At worst this warrants the coach taking diversity/sensitivity training, but it's not at all newsworthy & certainly not any kind of event to sack somebody's career over.
  Next it'll be calling the cops on the football coach for telling his players to "get in there and murder those bastards."
