FrogBrother Vs. Bob Rose
So, I'm into listening to talk radio and yesterday morning, I was listening to Bob Rose on Sky 97.3 He was basically saying that people that are calling for Zook's resignation should "give up their season passes and shut their pie hole". He also compared the situation with Zook to Bob Stoops when he came to Oklahoma. And it pissed me off. So I emailed him. To his credit, he wrote back, although I don't think he made any kind of argument. I report, you decide:
This is specifically for Bob Rose. The reason that the newspaper quotes
these small AM sports talk programs is because that is their area of
expertise. I wouldn't expect to hear their comments on the War on
Terror. I'm also not interested in your opinion on the current Florida
coaching controversy because it's apparently not your most knowledgeable
subject.
Gator fans that are "belly aching" have every right to do so as they
have certain expectations. It's called an expectation of winning.
Anything less is LOSING. And if the athletes aren't motivated to
compete, that is the fault of the coach just as much as it is the
athlete. A coach doesn't just draw plays, he (or she) motivates and
pushes his or her athletes to give the most of themselves. And these
aren't just any athletes; they are among the best in the nation.
People complained about Bob Stoops because they were afraid of the
future before the season started and he proved himself immediately.
Zook has not proven himself in the same way and doesn't deserve the same
comparison at all. Larry Coker also took over a program (Miami) and
made it a winner in one year. We don't necessarily have time to try out
a coach that could turn away top recruits because he can't teach a new
system to his players.
Quite frankly, I think you are just trying to be controversial. And
normally, your arguments have some merit but this one does not. Stick
to politics.

Thank you for the input. We disagree on this one. I did not speak out to be
controversial, it was out of passion and common sense. I want to cheer for
winners too, everyone does, but I still feel this is WAY to soon to call for the
coaches head. This is a negative about our society: I want it, I want it now,
I am impatient, I want it now......(if anyone is stirring controversy it is the sports
talk guys) which by the way, me mentioning them on my show is more promotion
than they'll receive in a year! except for the recent Sun article.
Thank you,
Bob Rose
Um, I don't mean to brag, but... Frog Brother 1, Bob Rose 0!!!!
