The long nightmare of the Gator Nation is over. We can finally let the healing begin.

And Steve Spurrier is back!
Offically?
Here is the list of possible candidates...
I can''t tell you how good this makes me feel! Ron Zook was KILLING ME. The Gators were a little more dead to me every week for 2.5 years. I have new life! I would take any one of these guys over Zook in a heartbeat.

Noooo, don''t take Meyer from the Utes. It''s only a matter of time before he goes, but Meyer sure fired up the program here. Although having Alex Smith as the QB didn''t hurt either.

Don''t try and visit fireronzook.com today. The site is slammed.

As a card-carrying FSU grad, let me be the first to say ""ahaha."" Not like I have much to cheer about. Not like a actually care. Go on, ask me who the Seminoles play next week. Go ahead.

We enjoyed smacking Florida around for a few years. Bring on Spurrier again I say!
I agree, go hereinstead!

This assumes that Spurrier even wants the job.

Isnt the big NFL rumor that the Dolphins are gonna snap up Spurrier soon?

No, not officially, but by the quotes in that article it sure sounds like he''d take it if offered.
I think that Spurrier is done with the NFL. I don''t think he is a lock for the Gators because he and Foley (the AD) don''t get along AT ALL.
If Foley could pick anyone from that list it would be Stoops. If Spurrier had gone to the ''Skins one year earlier, Stoops would be our coach. UF''s President has a lot of clout at the school and I am sure his opinion will carry some weight, I wouldn''t mind Urban Meyer.
You Criminoles fans should stop laughing and start worrying. The University of Florida Zookies will stop laying down for you every Thanksgiving.

Quiet you!
I heard on the radio that Spurrior was quoted as ''being interested'' when contacted.
Great! We need more comments about how other teams cheat when he loses!

What a great, great time to be a Miami fan.
(Actually no, screw them, but it doesn''t look like the BCS will be coming to the Carrier Dome anytime soon though.)

Why in the world would Stoops jump ship at OK to come to UF? He''s making tons, everything''s going great, the fans love him, he can raid Texas for talent with less competition than he would have in Florida with FSU and Miami, and he doesn''t have to spend time in Gainesville

The unattainable is unknown at zombo.com!
Because Oklahoma is in, uh Oklahoma.
I was surprised to hear his name being mention so prominantly. I know he was interested in the job when Zook was hired, but he had just taken the OK job and didn''t want to screw them. He must be interested, I guess. I am just glad we have some better options this time. After Spurrier, I got the feeling that no coach wanted to be ""the guy after the Guy"".
Also, Gainesville is awesome. Unless you don''t like super hot college girls.

I''ll bet Spurrier will be back. Why? Ben Hill Griffin says Steve would be his top choice. $$ talks, baby. Giving a few million bucks a year to UF will get you a hearing.
Spurrier says he''s willing to ''talk'' about the job. The entire Gator Nation is lining up to do anything, including having their youngest daughters bl*w him, to get him back.
Also, Spurrier''s main complaint was that the Gator''s fans were too spoiled and didn''t appreciate him (he said 10 win seasons but we know what that means) enough. Fixed that one didn''t ya Steve-O.
Stoops, GREAT coach, if Spurrier was gonna quit it should have been when Stoops was still here. We''d be the Sooners now.
NFW will he leave. Can''t blame him. Gators had their chance with him. Hell, he''s the reason I root for the Sooners over in that flat land league.
The other guys are good coaches but the ''other guys''. They'll talk to them to make the process look fair.
They should have made Zook pack his bags YESTERDAY, and named an interim coach. The last few games will be UGLY. Gators fans will probably boo the poor S-O-B off the field.
Gotta feel for Zook though. NEVER had a chance. Never.

I can''t deny that. I almost got in a multi-car pileup during my one visit to Gainesville for an FSU/UF game. This simply jaw dropping blonde did something that apparently required her to bend over and pick something up... I and the 5 cars around me almost made some insurance companies very mad. Goodness, what a tush.
Not that the FSU babes were anything to scoff at. Perhaps they were simply less clumsy much to our disappointment.

I believe due to the schools in the areas, the ratio in FSu and Gator country have a 7:1 girl guy ratio.
I think OK has a 7:1 Steer to guy ratio, but I think that''s not as a good.

In defense of my home state, allow me to state that the cattle-for-sex industry has been in a steady decline for some time now.
In reality, I have never seen a higher percentage of good looking women than I did in OK and TX. That includes Florida and California. Walking the campus at OU spoiled me for the rest of my days. On the flip side, I have never seen a higher percentage of uglier women than in Colorado. I really think the only good looking women in the state were the ones that were visiting the ski resorts.

At least until they offer the job to Spurriur and he either accepts or declines.

Nah. Stoops is like a god in Norman. OU has great facilities, can easily match UF money, and he has all the talent in the world to recruit from. OU is one of the Top 3 programs in the country, both currently and all-time.
I''d put my money on Jeff Tedford at Cal, Urban Meyer at Utah, or Bobby Petrino at Louisville.

I think UF should observe other former powers in the SEC and avoid living in the past. Second time around with Spurrier isn''t going to be the same. Any of the three on JMJ''s list would be great for Florida.

A better indication was a slip up on Zook''s radio show.
Some guy called and told Zook he is a nice guy but he can''t wait for Spurrior to come back.
Zook told the guy thanks and I''m sure Coach Spurrior will do a great job.
Slip up or tongue-in-cheek comment?
