Yeah the days of crushing UT will be back soon enough!!!
I love the mention about Bo Pellini onto our staff. If anyone who is really knowledgable about him can give some info on him, it would be appreciated. I know Nebraska hired him cause he was supposed to be a great coach. I think he is coaching OU's secondary now and if hired, can help our pourous secondary. I know he is learning quite abit of Stoops system to come here and apply some of that agressive, attacking defense that we desperately need.
For what its worth, Woody Paige said on Around the Horn that his source "very, very close to Spurrier" said a meeting is being set up this week. Then on PTI they mention Dan LeBatard's column about the Dolphins wanting Spurrier (kinda funny to me since he could have written this same article a week ago but waited til the day after Zook gets canned, so it probably means its fluff).
Ive always figured that after Foley whiffed on Stoops, Gruden and Shannahan that he hired Zook as a stopgap to the possible return of Spurrier (NOT SAYING that was his plan, but it had to enter his thinking). Either that or he wanted his own whipping boy to massage his ego and who better than your best friend.
As for all the griping about the time of this , even Foley knows a change is needed now. The Gators own Georgia and another win would mean the heat is taken off Zook. Plus, it isnt a coincidence that with another season down the tubes (and that for our program means no big cash payout in the SEC title game or BCS game) and our record at 4-3 that a move was made. The season is lost for the most part, so make the move now and make sure you have first crack at Steve Spurrier at the very least. When Steve abruptly left three years ago, Foley scrambled around for every big name and whiffed. He was left to pick Zook off the scrap heap. He didnot want that to happen again.
