Dear Coach- Thank you, : From Gurt
I have been moderately critical of Dave Rose this year. His substitutions have been quizzical, his lack of reigning in his players has been frustrating and at times I have questioned his tactical acumen. But as I was listening to his post game thoughts with Wrubell, it dawned on me the one thing that we underestimate he does exceptionally well. Dave is a master at being a figurehead and pristine representative of BYU. Opposing coaches speak very highly of him ( Colorado's coach mentioned multiple times how much respect he has for Rose ). His players seem to hold him in high regard and he recruits very well for the limitations the program has.

Another thing I think Rose does extremely well is speak of difficult situations is masterful euphemistic phrases. ( Roger Reid may have lost his job because of the lack of this ) Although as fans we would love to have a guy get up there and say it exactly how it is- the reality is, frequently that is not the best way to handle a player who just plain sucks. Or to address officials who just plain sucked. Or recruits who backed out of commitments. I always hear him building his players and their confidence. And his "green light" ( although at times frustrating ) did help to cultivate one of the greatest players to play at BYU.

Great win tonight. I'm happy for the players the fans and especially the guy who orchestrated it all. Thanks Coach, we love you!
