Alot of people say they wouldn't mind having golden if he dumped his friend and DC. What about a pairing of Ron Zook and golden. Zook was an excellent recruiter and has years of experience as a DC. Currently the Green Bay ST coordinator. Didn't do great as a HC but had some good years. I think he'd be a good DC.
Ron Zook and Al Golden
- Thread starter RUalum2011
- Start date
Why not throw in Charlie Weis and Greg Robinson too?
Wasn't it Zook's Illinois team that never reached the 50 yard line at Rutgers Stadium in September 2006? I'll pass and certainly have no interest in someone like Golden.
RUAlum, please ignore that kind of mocking commentary. Nothing wrong with throwing out possibilities.
While I don't like Golden, Ron Zook has a pretty good resume as qualification to be our DC (I'll pass on him as a HC candidate). ADs had to see something to hire him as a HC at Florida and Illinois. Why wouldn't he want back in to the P5 as a DC? B1G on top of that. And probably cheap.
Something for the AD/HC to look into.

Zook was a very good recruiter. Many coords don't make good head coaches, but can still be gr8 coordinators.
BTW, there are 0 100% sure fire can't miss candidates in play for RU.
Every potential candidate will have one of the following:
No P5 HC experience,
Not gr8 recruiting,
Not gr8 game day coach,
Had losing season,
Lost to rival or top 25 opponents
We will take a gamble on any coach.

How about Nick Papageorgio. I heard he has nice cars. Maybe the recruits will be impressed with them
People that I work with have suggested him. He had a very good D at Syracuse with very little talent.
Pair Zook and Golden? I'd rather pair a Merlot with a pile of dog poop. I haven't forgiven Zook for some not-so-nice comments he made about RU after he lost to RU in 2006. Golden? He has to lose the tie. Unless he pairs it with a coach shirt a la PJ Fleck. Never been a fan of the tie-wearing coaches, except maybe Lombardi and maybe Landry.
