Do you guys remember when Zook took a perennial top-five program and dropped us out of the top 25?
We went from being a top contender to hoping for an Citrus Bowl or an Outback win.
Of course Zook could recruit because he could sell the brand that SOS built.
I bet he would have been a great used car salesman.
Of course, he couldn't win and had to be fired (a great day for the Gator Nation.)
Fortunately, there was this young, up and coming coach at Utah....
Hmmm...I wonder how many would vote now that Fooley would hire him?
For those that argue that Fooley hired Meyer, just look at who he hired next.
Chimp and Butters were so bad that some of us are actually appreciating Zook.
Spurrier made Florida football as we know it today, and he demoted Zook because Zook sucks. My guess is that Spurrier liked Zook"s energy and ability to recruit; but when he elvauated Zook's coaching abilities (based on the results on the field) he demoted him.
So why did Fooly hire Zook to replace Spurrier?
I think that's a good question.
