TitanTiger 20,482 Posted October 26, 2004 Share Posted October 26, 2004 Earlier today, Jeremy Foley met with Ron Zook to inform him of his termination. The following is a trascript of their meeting:Zook: Jer-bear, you wanted to see me? Foley: First, I've asked you not to call me that. Second, yes, I do need to speak with you. Third, please leave the bowl of cabbage outside. Zook: How come? Foley: It stinks. Speaking of things that stink, President Machen and I have been reviewing your record... Zook: "Danny Wuerffel Sings Christmas"? Foley: No. Your coaching record. Zook: Oh. Foley: Yeahhhhhhhhh. Listen, Ron, you're a swell guy and all, but... you blow. Zook: What? Foley: Look, I'd love to be nice about this, but holy spicoli, you lost to Mississippi freaking State. Zook: Well, uh, ya know, yeah, that was embarrassing, and, ummm, ya know, we'll get it corrected. Foley: Yeah, the time for correcting it was really during the game. Zook: I, uh, you know, ummm, thing is, time ran out. Foley: It'll do that, Ron. It's a football game. There's a clock. Hey, speaking of clocks running out, gee... there's no easy way to say this, but, uh... Zook: (blink... blink, blink) Foley: Ron, we're gonna have to let you go. Zook: Go where? Foley: Wherever. Zook: Not following. Foley: I know, that's a big part of the reason. Ron, you've been fired. Zook: I don't understand. Foley: Ya know how you used to be an assistant here? And you know how one day, you weren't? You stopped getting paid. We boarded up your house. You were repeatedly asked to stop showing up at the practice fields. We had a process server hand you a restraining order and a bus ticket. Remember that? Zook: Yeah. Foley: Well, it's kinda like that again. Zook: But... but... but we'll get it corrected. Foley: No, you'll get the hell out. Zook: But... no taking a knee... we'll work 'em silly. Foley: Yeahhhhhhh, it was silly, but now it's just over. Tell ya what, though, we don't actually have anybody lined up right now. Ya wanna stay on for the rest of the season? Zook: Really? Foley: Sure. Zook: That's not a stupid idea? Foley: No more stupid than hiring you. Zook: Dang. Foley: Sorry. Want a Lifesaver? Zook: They told me no more hard candy. Not after the choking incident. Foley: I know. Sure you don't want one? Zook: Can I be Defensive Coordinator? Foley: Sure. Just not here. Zook: What if I beat Georgia? Foley: You couldn't beat Pi Kappa Phi. Zook: Oh. Foley: Yeah http://www.secfanatics.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=6073 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aumoore 0 Posted October 26, 2004 Share Posted October 26, 2004 Funny but remember the man just got fired. He does have a family. Oh I forgot he will get $450k per year for 4 years to sit on his can. That is more than I will make the rest of my life. Ok I am old. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tigermike 3,029 Posted October 26, 2004 Share Posted October 26, 2004 Zook could have countered and said that Super Steve Spurrier had never beat Mississippi State in Starkville. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
