I feel bad for him, I really do. He wasn't a good fit at UF, but his players did get us the 2006 Championship. I will never badmouth him.

Never a coach I liked but I never wished him ill.

I kept saying that during the FSU game - "Zook did better than this." Hope he finds a new home soon.

Zook had more left for him after SOS.

I was thinking of his last season when he beat FSU after being fired if my memory stands correct.

Yup. I believe it was @ FSU and it was the day they dedicated the statue and named the field after Zook....err Bobby. Zook was a guy that would have us at 7-5 and 8-4 year after year but never better than that IMO. Hell of a recruiter though and he would work his ass off for the school. Good guy just not a great head coach. Some guys are just great assistant coaches, we can't all be generals.
