One would have never been, but for Fooley pimping him constantly and lamenting having to fire him before he would have won an NC according to the Fooley Failful.
Zook wasn't even on anyone's list for coordinator. The other two were "prime" candidates whose name came up in basically every search.

Ron Zook was going to be fired as DC of the New Orleans Saints at the end of the season if UF hadn't come along. There was no justification for the hire, absolutely none. He was a terrible DC and a terrible ST coach.

You say because of his demeanor it was hard for him to be a head coach, but on a day to day basis, does he really effect a team that much? Doesn't it still come down to X's & O's and Jimmy's & Joe's?
“When the other team has good coaching and as much or more talent, yeah it matters. Like before Georgia, we barely lost to LSU and Texas A&M but we're still in the running to win our division and we need to win this game. We hear all the BS the week leading up to the game, but this is Georgia, we want a piece of them, so we're in the locker-room getting psyched up. Players are jumping around, going around to lockers and getting everyone hype and everyone had forgotten about all the BS off the field that week and we were ready to hit the field. Then here comes MAC, instead of talking about how this is one of our big rivals and if we win it we still got a chance to reach all our goals and getting us fired up to play, all he talked about right before the game was what was going on with him and the rumors of him getting fired. Instead of letting us put that to the side and focus on the game, he made all the BS about him the center point. He was like, 'don't worry about me, put your mind on the game.' It's like, we already did that, now you brought it back up. The atmosphere in the room went from a 10 to a two. It wasn't only you could see guys reaction to it, some guys were speaking out about it, how is he going to bring all that BS up. This is about us playing a game today. Going in we were hyped up ready to play and he took all the air out of us. Look how flat we were. We were ready for it to be over after he talked to us pre-game. Then when we saw the pictures of him laughing coming off the field, we were ready for his ass to be out of there.”

I've got a terrible cold but that glass of Stagg Jr went down nicely last night as I toasted the anniversary of his firing.

And its only been two years and a couple of months since our last raise and extension for Butters.
Promised by Fooley and Strick said he felt he had to honor it.

In fairness, he never played them. Let’s not pretend that he wasn’t capable of losing a game like that.

Yes. There is quite a distinction between feeling exalted (I might have said elated) and being exalted by others.
We still love you but do not exalt you.

Very entertaining thread, overall. I laughed reading thru it.
Mac's offenses were an abortion. Outside of 7 quarters with Grier, it was atrocious. I don't really care about his overall record. He benefited from some great defenses. He came here to fix the offense, but in my honest opinion, I'd rather have Muschamp's offenses. It was a disorganized, sh!t show under Mac. By far the worst coach that I've ever seen. I know we hate him, but Muschamp would actually coach circles around Mac. And I'm in no way saying Muschamp is a good coach. He isn't. But Mac is that bad. He literally did nothing well.

What am I supposed to be responding to?@CU-UF
waiting patiently for his response. perhaps I should go back to the month of October and see who really held on to their Butterslove.
