    I know I'm going to get slammed for this but I can't help myself.....how would you like to see Zook hired as Recruiting Coordinator/"insert whatever position you want"-Coach? Say what you want about the guy but I know two things:

    1) The players love him.
    2) He is passionate about recruiting and it is his strength as a coach.

    The guy has had tremendous success at Florida getting players and he achieved that success despite an incredible amount of negativity surrounding him from the beginning. Imagine what he could do at LSU with Saban backing him up. I really think the players could use somebody with his energy/positive attitude at LSU.

    that would be a great move as most should probably agree. nothing like a handful of major d-1 coaches on one staff.

    I'd suggest he stay away from the Frats. Especially the Omega's.

    anyone post the report how some of his players walked out once informed of his dismissal?

    most players really do like this guy.

    I didn't hear about that Tirk. I also heard that he had a lot of discipline problems with his players. Any truth to that?

    Supposedly Zook was too nice to his players and very lenient when it came down to discipline issues. Of course that's only what I heard. Any truth to that too?


    Btw, is your sig hottie out of the hospital yet?

    I haven't checked on her lately nor do I know what she was hospitalized with. A "high fever" can be a lot of things. I think she's in for Tommy John surgery. She threw out her arm pitching for the Cards a few weeks back.

    I wouldn't mind having Zook as a recruting coach or something. Zook is not a bad coach, he did a good job at Florida. He is no Spurrier, but he's better than Dinardo.:wink:

    under some NS tutelage he could work wonders for recruiting with the ties he has made in Florida.
