Ron Zook Coming Back To SEC?

[VolnJC]

LSU: Per source, Green Bay Packers assistant special teams coach Ron Zook is on LSU’s radar for the defensive coordinator job. Zook is the former head coach at Florida and Illinois.

 

[Dave1967]

It would be funny if Zook became the future LSU head coach.

 

[Zues1]

Wow. That dude can recruit

 

[Dave1967]

Wow. That dude can recruit

Yeah,he left CUM a very talented team at Florida

 

[volfanhill]

How did he recruit at Illinois?

 

[Dave1967]

How did he recruit at Illinois?

Went to the Rose Bowl in his first season and downhill afterwards

 

[BigOrangeLoyalist]

Went to the Rose Bowl in his first season and downhill afterwards

Iirc, that Illinois team gave up 42 points to USC that game.

... In the first quarter.

So not well then

 

[BenGrimm]

As I recall he recruited well above Illinois standards.

Of course that doesn't mean they were good enough to beat any good teams.

I said he recruited well for Illinois. Not the he could coach a lick.

Same could be said about his time at FL.

He wasn't good with fax machines either.

 

[vol-un-tear]

Zook has been around. Hell he even coached at UT.

Great assistant coach

 

[DiderotsGhost]

If you sleep four hours really fast, you might accidentally hire Ron Zook.

Les Miles must be getting desparate if he's seriously looking at Zook for DC.

 

[joevol33]

Boy I'd love to see him in Knoxville!

 

[ajvol01]

Boy I'd love to see him in Knoxville!

On the other sideline?

 

[joevol33]

On the other sideline?

I don't know how to blue font! Ha

That was his 3rd season.

Zook's a solid defensive guy, hell of a recruiter and has experience in the South; it's not a bad hire.

 

[Thunder Good-Oil]

It's not official until there is a fax machine installed in his office at LSU.

That will never happen.

 

[Lawrence Wright]

Exactly.

But because he's the last UF coach UT got the better of, he's a bum.

Zook and Miles recruiting together for LSU? Not good for the rest of the SEC.

I'm likely talking heresy around here. Can't compliment an "opponent".
