Oklahoma football: Coaching changes indicate that Bob Stoops isn
The Oklahoman's Jenni Carlson took questions from readers in today's Power Lunch Chat. Participate in our Power Lunch Chats Monday-Friday at 11 a.m. on NewsOK.com/Sports.
Jenni Carlson Obviously, that isn't the case. Yes, there are problems in Norman, and now we have confirmation that Bob Stoops realizes it just as much as Sooner fans do.

Jenni Carlson is incompetent. They ask her about replacements and she can't give us even one name that Bob might be looking at. A professional sports reporter would be doing their own research and would be able to name several coaches who Bob might be considering. She's an embarrassment.

The woman doesn't just cover OU football. She covers all the sports at OU plus OSU and every other sports story in the state of Oklahoma. You really think she's got the time to sort out what assistant coaches would make the best fit for OU? Really? I read columnists from other papers and they may have suggestions or two about head coaching positions, but they rarely have a binder of available assistants right at hand. Look who Les Miles just hired, and Saban. Did you see those names being offered up beforehand? Just because she's a woman doesn't mean she's a bad reporter. Lighten up. Don't be afraid of women, guys. They outnumber us anyway. |

I also do not see where anyone made any reference to being afraid of her or "women", nor do I see anywhere that anyone said she was a bad reporter because she is a woman.

I don't care if Carlson covers every sport at every school in Oklahoma. The biggest story in the state right now is about who Bob will hire to fill the remaining two spots on his staff. If Carlsen is going to field questions about OU football, then she is obligated as a professional to have some idea of what she's talking about. I'm not saying she has to correctly predict who Bob is going to hire, but she should have some idea of who he might consider. That's what sports reporters do...they provide information about sports. That's what sets sports reporters apart from people who aren't sports reporters.

I don't mind Jenny. Perhaps her role is to report the news, not have rampant speculation on what might happen. As a comparison, look at all the people that report on prospective NBA trades, most have no basis in fact whatsoever. Now, Ubben - there's an idiot.

RE: Oklahoma football: Coaching changes indicate that Bob Stoops
It is an interesting concept. Actually having a local sports reporter who does research and knows the subject matter. Novel idea. Novel idea. This is not a gender issue. I can name plenty of male reporters who are equally worthless. Dean Blevins said their is a 90 percent chance I am right.

The intimation that spacegirl so gleefully has latched onto is that the average performance of units within the team is something that the head coach has just now realized, while the brilliant coaches in waiting on this board recognized it so much earlier.
if there is a God in heaven, 1 day space girl and her ilk will work for coach Stoops.

Don't be afraid of women, guys. They outnumber us anyway. You do have a fair point. You'll see speculation on replacements for a HC but not near as much for assistants. For new assistants, much of the time fans or media will throw out names of people with ties to the school, such as an ex-player or someone with ties to a current coach (like the new OL coach). I wonder how many people had speculated years ago that Kevin Wilson was a possible hire for the OC job, or Willie Martinez as the new secondary coach, or Bruce Kittle for OL, or James Patton. |

That's what sets sports reporters apart from people who aren't sports reporters. I would probably fall into that category of agreeing with you Numbers. The stuff we get today hardly falls into the category of GREAT Journalism. 20 years ago or maybe less we would not have had to ask these questions, i.e. who goes and duh, who may be next. Not a gender thing as much as the lack luster journalism we have today IMO. Are there any great ones out there anymore, rhetorical question? I am still looking. |

RE: Oklahoma football: Coaching changes indicate that Bob Stoops
there are more women in this country than there are men
United States is 1 of the few societies in the world where women are actually expected to be in the workforce and be as omore productive than men
there's a direct correlation between the emergence of women in the workforce, think rosie the Riveter, in the emergence of the United States as a true superpower
I am Not sure if it is related or not, but I noticed the other day how far the United States is behind the rest of the world in men's soccer while the women from the United States dominate most other countries soccer teams even as it is not a major sport here
