It's long enough ago that I can't remember all the potential candidates to replace Spurrier. What I do remember is both Stoops and esp Shanahan thinking long and hard before saying no. I really thought we had Shanahan.You know as well as I do the only person that would follow SOS either #1 had balls as big as basketballs or #2 did not realize the enormity of it. Zook was probably a little of both. Some people are not made up to be HBC but can still be good at many of the other things that help a team. I will always give him credit for that talent he brought in.
We had more leverage back then than now. I have to think there was a better qualified candidate to take the reins than the guy who got demoted to special teams coach by none other than Spurrier.
