The Case For Ron Zook
As Michigan potentially looks for a new coach, many of football's greatest minds are being thrown into the discussion. Les Miles, Mike Gundy, Jim Harbaugh, and many others like them are being mentioned with regards to a potential coaching vacancy. But I want to present to the Michigan faithful why I believe Ron Zook is the best candidate for the Michigan job.
- Born in Ohio - It takes one to beat one, and having a true Ohioan as the head coach would surely give us a great advantage against our biggest rival, plus any Ohio-Based MAC schools that happen to fall in our path.
- Exciting Games - Zook coached Illinois when Michigan beat them in 3OTs, 67-65. That was the most exciting game ever, and he could bring that excitement back to the big house.
- Not enough men on the field! Zook is the special teams coordinator with the Green Bay Packers. We consistently struggle with punt formations and getting all 11 guys on the field for special teams. He would bring valuable special teams insight that we surely need.
- Green Bay Packers - Ron Zook is currently employed by the Green Bay Packers. They are an NFL team, and could beat any college team in the country. If a team that’s better than a college team is smart enough to hire Ron Zook, then we would be foolish not to have him as our coach. It's the transitive property.
- Hoke only has one “O” in his name. Ron Zook has 3 "O's" in his name. This clearly means that Zook is 3 times more dedicated to Offense - which also starts with an O - than Hoke is.
- All the best teams are in the SEC. Everyone knows that. Ron Zook coached at Florida. Florida is in the SEC. The teams in the SEC have this thing called "SEC SPEED". Having been an assistant and a head coach in the SEC, Zook knows how to recruit and coach SEC SPEED. Having such SPEED at a school in the Big Ten would shock the nation.
- Zook has taken a team to the Rose Bowl more recently than any Michigan team. He knows how to get to the big game.
- It’s all about the money: He is underrated, and we wont have to pay him a lot to come here, and he's most probably looking for a job in the college football world. We need somebody to fill that job. It's a win-win for both parties, and helping people is what this is all really about.
These are the reasons I think Ron Zook is the best man for the job.

I thought this would really suck, but it made me laugh. After a weekend like this one, any sports-related laugh is great.
October 5th, 2014 at 10:57 PM ^
lol, incredible.
Some of the posters above me would do well to recalibrate their sarcasm meters and/or remove the sticks from their butts.

I bet Zook would get referees to wave off all penalties as part of his False Flag Operation.

on whether he's a nice guy or not? If he's nice, he's our man!
October 5th, 2014 at 11:38 PM ^
He's not only nice, he wants 115 sons.

When I came back to the board and saw the title, I was all....
...but then I got a good laugh out of it. Well done, OP.

and it's close. The only case for Ron would have to be prefaced with the word suit.
October 5th, 2014 at 11:09 PM ^
Well, Illinois shoulda kept him. That's for sure.

I have a younger brother who will be attending UM next fall as a freshman. He's a starting HS kicker and soccer player. But will not be playing sports into college.
I was a 8-10 year old soccer team assistant coach 11 years ago and I made it to most of the practices.
I've watched a lot of college and NFL football.
I love maize.
I love blue.
I love lamp.
I've played most Madden and NCAA football video games ever made.
I'm currently employed, but if the right offer came along Id take it. But it'd have to be the right offer.

At first I was all "No way LOL" and then I looked it up and there it was.
Sad.

I honestly don't understand the Benghazi reference but it reminded me of the HOOKER KILLER trolling so that's cool.

This board is the best. Every time I come here thinking yesterday's comedy can not be topped, someone proves me wrong with an insane idea like Ron Zook for coach.

Can someone make the case for Danny Hope?

Prove your worth by creating a case for Mike DeBord set to the tune of SYMBIONESE LIBERATION ARMY.

went off to coach IL in the late 70s. He did an awful job but may have gotten recruits and build depth for Mike White. Bo was always upset at IL for dumping MO and may have been the reason he ran up the score on them in '81.
The connection is that Mo did not perform well as IL coach and was a good Michigan coach. So, may be Zook who did not meet expectations at IL could do a good job at Michigan. Personally this connection could make Zook one of our top candidates! Sadly he is better than our current coach!

I think that's his true calling, honestly. Truth be told however, Michigan has been pretty damn good at recruiting, anyway.
