1) Something tells me that "effective at the end of the season" isn't that good of an idea here. 2) Who the HELL is going to want that job now after all the crap he went through.

I'm an FSU fan..and even I know that Zook should've been fired a long time ago. I understand why "effective at the end of the season is there". 1. They have no chance of a bowl game now 2. They are firing the entire staff and can't replace the staff immediately. As far as the second question posed.. I really don't know who would want the job but they'll find someone.. I just hope he sucks as bad as Zook...

Paging Mr Spurrier... Paging Mr Steve Spurrier you have a Jeremy Foley holding on the white curtesy phone. Please pick up the nearest white curtesy phone. Thank you.

in all fairness, miss st. played really well last week. But the man's got to be fired. I just don't see why they'd make the announcement now--it completely undermines their authority as coaches, and without naming a replacement, you won't get any more recruits.

man, that really sucks for UF. I don't really care much as I am not a fan of any of the big 3 in florida, but having survived the [can't] hackett era as a diehard USC fan, I feel bad for the gators. their program is just spinning into the toilet faster and faster by the second.

I just heard a blurb about this on a local (Arkansas) sports chat show tonight, and I didn't realize it was "effective at the end of the season". My thoughts are that it was an effort to freeze some in-state recruits that were leaning away from UF, a sort of "don't sign with anyone until you see who we have next year--and it won't be Zook".

So UF gave Spurrier 2 weeks to decide if he wants the job. What the hell is wrong with UF? Don't they remember how he up and left in the middle of the season and hung the gators out to dry? Now most gator fans are crying to have Spurrier come back. Suit yourself, you get what you deserve. I don't care if he returns to the gaytors, It would please me to see the 'noles kick the shit out of spurrier every november.

Actually, he left the day after the Gator Bowl in 2001.
Trust me, they beat my Terps that night, I remember
