Latest rumor is that Ron Zook has been fired by Florida effective at the end of the season.........I say we get rid of Venturi and bring in Zook. Our defense hasn't been nearly as good since he departed us...

Ron Zook
 

We don\'t need to bring him back... the guy couldn\'t even win in college, how do you think he\'ll do in the pros.

Ron Zook
 

If you remember correctly he was great in the Pros. How do you think he got the Florida job? He had our D playing a hell of a ot better than Venturi is doing... Would you rather stick with Venturi?

Zook has had some rough games at Florida, but I think its cause he is a nice guy. I mean he never had the killer instinct. When he gets up in games he sits on the ball and tries to run the clock out instead of running up the score. In college you have to run up the score. Then he was trying to run a more Pro style team and the players just arent taking a liking to it. They make a ton of mistakes and dont respond well to tough love. I think he is a good coach, but I wouldnt ask him back as a head coach. Maybe a D Coordinator. Anything is better than Venturi...

Ron Zook
 

i agree, he would be a great addition at Def Cor only..... not as the head coach

Ron Zook
 

Hell, if anything, suit him up at DT, it\'ll prolly be better then than fatty mcgee and young. Seriously tho, he\'s a good pick for D cord.

Ron Zook
 

Losing to Miss. State was the final straw at Florida for Zook, but I still think he would make a better Def. Coordinator than what we have now.

Ron Zook
 

No thanks, we need a totally revamped staff, no repeat offenders here.

Ron Zook
 

Here\'s my post in a previous Zook thread today...

Ron Zook
 

Yeah I think it would be a good idea to bring Zook back. In 2000 the defense under Zook had 64 sacks. The saints in 2000 almost broke the record bye the 85 bears of 72 sacks in a season. I posted the lets see if we can get Zook back last week. I than followed the statement bye saying probably impossible before learning he would be fired. It is always the head coaches decision who he decides to put on his staff. Lets see who the new head coach is next year. If there is a change. Haslett might stay and fire all the other coaches.

There\'s some major memory loss on this board. Our defense ROCKED when Zook was running things. It has sucked since he left.
You KNOW Spurrier wants back in Florida...Zook has my vote for Venturi\'s job.

Ron Zook
 

spurrier may want back into florida, but he hates thier athletic director and will not go back unless he was gone

K-Man:

2001 -
Week 14 -- St. Louis 34 pts.
week 15 -- Tampa Bay 48 pts.
week 16 -- Washington 40 pts.
week 17 -- San Francisco 38 pts.

This was our effort on D during the stretch drive...
One more win and we\'re in the playoffs

2000-2001 pts. given up
776 or (over 24 pts./g)

My memory is fine

No new coordinators will come in during the season. If Has gets fired during the season the schemes will remain the same. You can\'t put in a new system on either side of the ball in the middle of the season. Schemes take all of camp and are refined in pre-season, so don\'t expect miracles. Although our team on both sides of the ball don\'t seem to be able to grasp schemes that have been in place for years.

Ron Zook
 

If (and when) it comes, here are my nominations:

Head Coach: Romeo Crennel or Gary Kubiak
Off. Coord.: rally monkey from ESPN commercials; with this talent even HE should be able to do right.
Def. Coord.: Mike Singletary: He runs the LBs in BAL for Goodness Sakes!! (what was our weak spot again?)
Special Teams should stay the same.


P.S. -- Rally Monkey nominated only b/c that would rule!!

The final month in 2001 blew chunks, no doubt, but it was because our offense couldn\'t make a 1st down, and our defense was on the field way too much. The last two games, our offense scored 10 points and 0 points, respectively. Tough for any defense to be effective spending that much time on the field. If your memory is THAT good, havbe a look at the whole year, not the december toilet flush.

Ron Zook
 

776 points given up in 2001 holy strawberries batman.

Ron Zook
 

Yes the final month of 2001 wasn\'t just the d\'s fault but over TWO years...
(776) pts. per game over 24...
That\'s also part of the problem
