  Freedom at Last! Ron Zook is no more!

Ron ZookRon Zook, head coach of the Florida Gators, has finally been fired.

I am happy. Ever since Zook took over Spurrier's job in 2001 it has been nothing but disappointment (except for the UF-LSU game of 2003). It would have been nice to of had him fired under nicer circumstances, aka not after a loss to Mississippi State, a team that was 1-5 and lost to Maine, a 1-AA team. Zook is 20-13 since he took Steve Spurrier's job, many teams would like to have such a record. They can have Zook. I want Spurrier back.

The President of the University of Florida, Dr. Bernie Machen, used to be the President of the University of Utah, and now he is looking at the head coach of Utah for Zook's remplacement after the end of the 2004 season. I think this is a bad idea and Spurrier would be a much better choice. Why? Trust. We, the fans and students of UF, trust Spurrier. We saw what he did for us in the early 90's: He got us more SEC Championships than I can count on one hand. We saw what he did in the late 90's, but we were not pleased since we did not finish in the top 3. Many teams would love to finish in the top 3, but we were spoiled. We had a National Championship, we wanted more. Yet through it all, we trusted Spurrier. Even if he does not make us into the top 10 his first year here, we will still stand by Spurrier. The UF Administration can be assured that we will be happy, and will continue to sell out every game, if we get Spurrier back.
