Its like we have been wondering in the desert with parched lips and dry throats, any type of liquid is sweet nectar.

Mike Riley is an assistant coach for Oregon State now. So it has happened and happened recently.

Have you seen how long they've employed Dom Capers with his awful ****ing defenses? Or how long they'll let Ted Thompson squander 2 hall of fame qb by being a tight ass? Not a good example...

Probably half of the coaching staffs in college football have former head coaches included. Butters is on Saban's staff right now.

I doubt that it is even possible. If he desired to do the job and would be great at it of course I would be happy. Every Gator would be happy to have the best coach in every position, or at least they should be happy. I don't think an NFL salary is less than our assistants make. The weather here is better.

I selected yes as “Maybe” wasn’t a choice. I can’t say I’m up to speed on how the Packers ST is this year. I’d prefer Zook come back as Asst. HC and Recruiting Coordinator but if he needs to be ST Coach, so be it. I think he’d be an asset on the staff.

yeah I didn't even bother debating that but there's a hell of a lot of terrible coaches who maintain employment in the NFL. they seem to just rotate seats.

I don’t get the Zook love on ST....
I get his energy and charisma .... the dude is a walking, talking 5 Hour energy drink crossed with an espresso.
I guess he could recruit with his nfl and UF history, but I just don’t see him connecting with kids today.
I have a HS son who is a freshman at Ft Myers HS. He played JV this year and will likely be on varsity next year. He thinks anyone with gray hair is a fossil .... meaning there’s not a connection. What I think about Zook means nothing to him. But then I have to threaten death to get him to clean his room or do his chores.
I think our ST were exemplary under Urban. We blocked and returned kicks regularly. We could use an aggressive face coaching these groups so the we put the best athletes on these groups to get the results that can often be the difference in games.
I’m not an UM nut swinger completely but the ST under his tenure was so good it was almost expected every game
