------------------------------------------

Looks like records are getting pretty similar and one coach had way more big wins than the other one. Zook had his Mississippi school problem.

Zook got fired in his 3rd season after losing to Miss St who had just lost to Maine.

Mac was in his 3rd year when he lost to LSU who had just lost to Troy.

Spooky!

Zook's biggest problem was following Spurrier. UF fans still expected titles so 4 loss seasons seemed like complete fail. Nobody was gonna be patient even though we had some of the youngest rosters in the country each of his three years. Zook would get a lot more time now. Why? Elite recruiting and at least had rosters that showed a lot of promise.

Both have had off field problems too. Zook with that frat and Mac with cc fraud.

The big difference being that Zook exacerbated the frat incident.
