I was an editor of the Vanderbilt Law Review, had four American Jurisprudence Awards, regular appearances on the Dean's List, and scored above the 99th percentile on the LSAT. I'll compare IQs, incomes or both any day of the week, pal.

Firing the coach doesn't produce wins. Having the right coach, though, can. Spurrier was the right coach before, and I want to see him back. Your conditional factual of what I woud want "if" he were to perform as poorly as Zook is a commonly utilized distraction indicative of a weak argument. I want Spurrier back because he NEVER performed that poorly.

I don't know what second-rate law school you went to, but you're the one who disingenuously started lecturing this Florida alum when you clearly don't give a damn how good a team Florida has, but were merely voicing objections to firing Zook based on some principle that carries with it completely externalized costs borne by others. Funny how adherence to that principle would simply ensure that Florida stays mediocre. Florida is doing poorly because they hired someone who had no business being a head coach at a program that size. I was willing to give him a chance his first year, but he was obviously in over his head and by the second year I knew we wouldn't be winning the SEC with him at the helm. I want the school to rectify their mistake, and Spurrier just happens to be available and interested. He's a proven winner, with a tradition and mystique at UF that removes a lot of question marks. If he turns out to be no longer capable of producing, then of course I'd want to see a change. You think I want him around because I like his visors?

Bottom line is, I care about Florida football, because I want that program to be everything it is capable of being. That means winning SEC championships and having a shot at Number One. I have no idea what your interest is, but I suspect it has a lot less to do with Florida winning than it does with your being quite content to see Florida settle back into the ranks of the unexceptional so as not to make other programs look bad.

You can't answer my question because:

1. You obviously know absolutely NOTHING about football. If you had any clue about it, you could likely give at least a few reasons. I watched about 2.5 quarters of the Georgia game and I could probably give you a few reasons why Zook isn't doing well -- if yesterday's game is any indication. You haven't stated one thing Zook is doing wrong, except for the fact that he isn't winning as much as you'd like. Why are you continuing to try and shift the focus of this discussion?

2. Attack is the surest sign you are losing the argument. You refuse to answer my question/challenge and start attacking me. Trying to tell me how much smarter you are than I (even though you know nothing about me, which is the height of stupidity) am because you went to some law school and got some stupid ass award. What the hell does that have to do with Florida football? I know it changes the subject and tries to get me off topic, but it won't work.

As far as this other idiocy, talk is cheap. I could make up a whole bunch of stuff as well. There's no one reading this thread that doesn't know who the one who's completely lost it is.
