That tells a story about his head coaching ability, not his defensive coordinator or recruiting ability. At illinois there were a signifigant amount of more players drafted in the nfl from his classes then from previous regimes.

Zook is a great recruiter. No doubting it.

But I want a defensive coordinator who doesn't have a job history including a demotion from defensive coordinator to special teams coach by Steve Spurrier.

You could give this guy a defensive line with Little, Henderson, Atkins, and White on it and he would still concoct a way to lose.

Spurrier recruited 10 all americans to UF in his tenure (which was 12 years, if I'm not mistaken). Zook landed 20 in three.

Spurrier averaged 10 wins a year with his talent.
Zook averaged 8 wins a year with his superior talent. Wasn't good in bowls with lots of time to prep.

Zook couldn't put together a good enough D to win more games with all that talent?

Lets see, I believe there are a couple of teams that have a proven formula for winning with good D's. All Americans and all. Can't place their names. Something tells me that they will be playing soon. Maybe tomorrow.

Yeah, the truth is so hilarious.

Bottom line is there are plenty of coaches that are good coordinators but fail at the coaching level (Charlie weis being one of many examples). As I previously mentioned he recruited talent as obvious by the amount of nfl draft picks, and had the second best defense in the big 10 this year and in the top half the other years. Yes he did not succeed as a head coach, but you cannot correlate head coaching and coordinator success.

Okay I understand he is a great recruiter. However, look at Illinois record since he has been their coach, obviously those "great" classes aren't being took advantage of.
