[QUOTE="Heisman's Ghost, post: 868435, member: 4015"] I don't know the correct answer, if there is one. I can relate that when Florida AD Jeremy Foley chose to fire Ron Zook who had the misfortune of following Steve Spurrier, he did it in the latter stages of Zook's third season despite the fact that Coach Zook had recruited well (his players were the foundation of Urban's first national championship team in Gainesville) and had managed to beat UGA two of the three years he coached against them. Apparently, various player escapades and losing to the likes of Ole Miss and Mississippi State were too much to swallow. At the time Foley said that it had been HIS experience that it worked out better in the long run when he knew he had to get rid of a coach just to go ahead and do it right away. He similarly followed that script with a baseball coach and some other minor sport coach. Worked out well for a while because the Gators got Urban Meyer and two national championships. [/QUOTE]
