chw42 Posted October 7, 2011 Share Posted October 7, 2011 QUOTE (Athomeboy_2000 @ Oct 7, 2011 -> 12:24 PM) Cowley said Cooper pulled him aside several times a few years ago to ask him to write that the coaches need extensions. I wonder when a few years ago was. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not true if it's distorted. The idea of journalism, or writing in general, is to get both sides of the story. If you only have one side, that's bad journalism. You might as well stop writing.

WHITESOXRANDY Posted October 7, 2011 Share Posted October 7, 2011 One thing is for certain; the Sox will be a more successful organization with all of the management pulling in the same direction. I've been a huge critic of KW's moves. But, I'm beginning to wonder how much of a distraction Ozzie was to Kenny over the last few years. I know that he was distracting to the players because Konerko and others have said as much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Balta1701 Posted October 7, 2011 Share Posted October 7, 2011 QUOTE (RockRaines @ Oct 7, 2011 -> 01:25 PM) You should. Your only argument is that the guy hasnt managed and so he hasnt done manager type things as a manager. You know what, there are plenty of better options out there then with your criteria, I bet Jerry Manuel would like a job again. Was Bob Brenly a better option? I am sick and tired of failed manager retreads, this hire was outside the box yet people actually in the baseball industry are saying it was a good hire. I bet fans on a message board have alot more exposure to Robin's history and demeanor than those people. Let me ask you this...if we come up with several people in the "baseball industry" who are shocked/stunned by this hire and openly question it, would that mean that you'd have to judge it as a bad hire?

Cooper's been a huge part of whatever success we've had in the past decade, but yeah, he definitely needed to have his ass saved. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cowley basically said since the team was sinking Cooper went behind Ozzie to make sure he was safe when the rest of the staff got canned. IMO, Cooper was never in trouble... he was DENIED permission to talk to the Yanks, the Sox value him that much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IMO, Cooper was never in trouble... he was DENIED permission to talk to the Yanks, the Sox value him that much. And let's not forget that not only did Ozzie go ask for an extension, he asked for a raise, and he asked for his boss to get fired, plus he did most of that in public. if Cooper did ask for a deal, he did way less than Ozzie ever did.
