The word "fool", in fact, is neither a short o sound nor a long o sound, but a long U sound. I do not know the reason why for this pronunciation distortion, but you can probably relate it to the fact that many English words have unusual forms (e.g. plural of child is "children" instead of "childs"). Think of the "oo" sound in fool comparing to the "u" sound in lute. If you think about it, they sound the same. On the other hand, the o sound in "clock" is a short o sound and the o sound in "moat" is a long o sound.
