Today's Pat on the back goes to Bob Stoops, a great coach who had always shown his commitment to his players. An incoming freshman player at Oklahoma was dismissed from the football team Friday by coach Bob Stoops after a video of him rapping about guns and shooting people appeared on the Internet.
The dismissal of wide receiver Josh Jarboe came after the player appeared in a 74-second, profanity-laced video.
“We are disappointed in this outcome, but our complete review and this final decision is in the best interest of our program,” Stoops said in a statement. “We outlined for Josh the expectations we had for him when he arrived and, unfortunately, those expectations have not been met. Josh needs to learn from this experience. We hope he can move forward in a positive manner.”
Well said Bob! This is a lesson NFL owners will NEVER learn it seems - talent does not make you an asset, or indispensable!
