As a Florida alum, I will say this. Whoever followed Spurrier @ UF was set-up to fail. Zook had no chance from day 1.

Interesting observation...could you provide some insight to the state of the program when SS left (i.e. previous records, incoming recruits, etc)

Also, what was the consensus view of Zook from Florida fans while he was there?

BigDaddy,

Not an alum, but a lifelong fan. Spurrier was pretty much worshipped in Florida. Dont remember the exact numbers, but he won a NC during his tenure and numerous SEC championships. As for Zook, UF fans pretty much hated him. Good recruiter, not so good as a head coach. But that poster was correct, anyone following Spurrier was not set up for success because the bar was set so high during his time at Florida.
