True. Following Spurrier was a tough act and he lost too many home games. I've always been curious as to how he would have done had they kept him for the 05, 06 seasons. It seems Tebow still would have come to UF, as he had a great relationship w/ Fedora. But once he lost to Miss State he was done!
Funny thing about the 04 Miss State game too, my Gator Club already had Jeremy Foley scheduled as a guest speaker that week....then they fired Zook. We had a HUGE crowd come out. I was the club president and I wrote a story for (I think) Gatorbait (they reached out to me and asked if I would write up a story on his speech). There was a pic of me, Foley, and the VP of the club in the local beaches paper.
Am I allowed to cross promote my take on Zook vs. Mac thread from the Gas? I think it was a fair take between the two.
No...we need a guy that can stick around for awhile.
Listen, I'd take Spurdog at HC for 5 years and see if we couldn't pull a guy like Jake Spavital over from WVU. I'm not the biggest fan of coach in waiting, but I'd see it more as on the job training. Plus, it may make up for Spurrier not wanting to recruit much at this stage in life.
