[QUOTE="ChiefIllini, post: 1419412, member: 588522"] Zook was an above average recruiter and a mediocre coach, he is not the guy you want at the top of your program. Firing him was not the move that doomed this program to perpetual 3 win seasons. I'm ready to die on that hill. If you think any NFL team will employee Lovie Smith right now as even a coordinator (heck, even as a position coach), I have a bridge to sell you. This is about as low as Lovie has ever been in terms of coaching value. If he ever wants a job after this (and honestly, he doesn't need one), he needs to show he can turn this program into something. At this point (after listening to the post game presser), I'm half way between understanding 90% of that is coachspeak, and wondering if Lovie has created some sort of alternative universe in his mind where his scheme was good Saturday. The offense will always be a different animal with Lovie as HC, but that defense needs to be better, even in years like this. [/QUOTE]
