I would like it. He can recruit pretty damn well.

Think he's another guy built to be an assistant coach as opposed to a head coach. Think it would be a good hire. Great recruiter.

Anyone else hearing this? Zook scares me from how he bombed as a head coach, but everyone says he can recruit. He is an Ohio guy too.

this doesnt scare me too much. would be a good hire. but i dont see it anywhere. is there a link someplace? i mean, i could start a thread saying Bill Cowher is going to be the new DB coach...

Experto from scout posted it. He's a hit and miss poster over there.

Would be quite funny if he came and worked for the guy that replaced him at Florida. But it would be a good hire.

I wouldn't mind seeing that silver fox on the sidelines.

Not a horrible hire if true but I doubt it's true...I just don't think they could work together.

I'd take Zook. DBs are his bread and butter and the man can recruit.

Now, seeing Zook and Meyer on the same sideline may cause Spencer Hall's head to explode, but that's a different matter.

Ohio guy, check. DBs, check. Recruits well, check.

Where'd you see that? I would take Zook as CB coach in two seconds

If experto from scout is the source, then I'll pass on giving this any credence.  He has a track record that makes me look like an insider

Agreed, I've never seen the guy be right on anything.....but like Alex I would take him in a heartbeat!

This is the only one I could go back to find, but I saw this about 3 times on twitter and I'm trying to confirm.

I would love to see Zook as our DB coach. He's a great recruiter and an Ohio guy. Some of the best coordinators in CFB and the NFL just don't make great head coaches. (Dick Lebeau, Ray Rhodes). Let's be honest, how hard is it going to be to coach the likes of Burrows, Reeves, Grant and Woodard?

Don't rely on experto, the guy has zero credibility. There's a reason there is a thread asking why hasn't experto been banned.

Seeing the BlockONation tweets has infinitely more credibility than experto.

My guess is that experto just saw the BlockONation tweet.

I really hope this is true-- Would be a great hire! Go Bucks!

Zook would be an excellent addition. Ohio guy, excellent recruiter and would lend a ton of insight to opposing B1G teams we're facing. I'm sure his ego would be bruised but let's face it Ron, you haven't lit up the scorboard as a head coach.

I would feel better about a Ron Zook hire than I did a Bill Sheridan hire. His insight in the B1G would be a plus. Hope it happens.

If true, the only downside would be it might give some credibility to Experto, a losing bargain. Besides that, it would be a great hire.

UPDATE: The Ron Zook hiring is NOT confirmed as of yet...Had heard it from a couple people on Scout, but it may be just rumor at this point

So he got it from Experto.

Zook would be a great hire like everyone else said he's a hell of a recruiter and could give Meyer and the defense some good insight on different coaches tendencies and how he prepared for certain teams

Would be a great hire. Maybe he would even move up to DC once both Fickell and Withers inevitably gets another HC opportunity.

As soon as I saw "experto" linked to this rumor, I knew it was BS. The guy has absolutely zero credibility. I can't even believe this rumor is across 3 websites and twitter.

I would love that. Three former head coaches on staff. all great recruiters.
