Mailbox full: Williams not popular

Football head coach Bobby Williams is making my life difficult.

October 23, 2002

Since the Spartan’s debacle in Iowa City on Oct. 12, my opinion@statenews.com mailbox has been overflowing with letters to the editor calling for his job.

I had more than a dozen letters in my in-box on the Sunday following the Spartans’ 44-16 loss to the Hawkeyes. And more angry fans chimed in though the week.

The only difference this week is quantity. On Sunday, I had to wade through more than 20 letters calling for Williams to be canned. And, yes, more have followed.

I could count the number of people who have chimed in on other topics using my fingers. Some of those writers have expressed disinterest in the Williams rantings and want other things to read about. One of these writers even said I should be fired for running so many letters filled with Spartan fans’ displeasure for Williams’ leadership abilities.

Nonetheless, I publish what writers supply. If it’s Williams they want, then it’s Williams they get.

Unless the tide begins to turn, it might very well be this way until the end of the season. I can’t help it.

Please, don’t shoot the messenger.

Oh, and please, fire Williams.
