ESPN is reporting that Army head coach Bobby Ross is going to resign. It's a shame, but understandable giving his age and the lack of progress the program has made. What do you think of Ross's pending resignation?

Well, it's official. As the Associated Press is reporting tonight, "Bobby Ross retired Monday as Army's football coach, and without a victory over Navy in his three seasons with the Black Knights... The former NFL coach, who had a 9-25 record at Army, will be succeeded by offensive line coach Stan Brock."

Nope, no wins over Navy. Guess it just didn't work out for him, but I'm not sold on Brock being the answer either.

According to John Minko, who calls Army play by play, Ross was complaining he was tired in October, so my guess is, that he was just burned out. After all, he's no spring chicken.

I think resigning is the wrong word, it's not like he'll turn up next week and accept a coaching job.

His stint with Army was interesting, hopefully they will improve in the coming years and compete.

Stan Brock -- who? give me a break. I mean after going 9-25 you don't look "internally" for an offensive line coach who's never had a head coaching job. to me, this means the Army is throwing in the towell on football. the service academies obviously have a tough road to get quality athletes. they can get a few patriotic ones, but not enough to go around. Army obviously was at the bottom of the totum pole. they hired bobby ross, hoping a big name would turn it around. bobby ross made 1 million a year -- more than anyone else in the fed. gov't. he was a federal employee by the way.

anyway, i think army's program will go down from here. which mean really, really bad. too bad
