  3. A Tale of Two Teams Some of Florida’s successes are numerous SEC championships, three national championships, and three Heisman Trophy winners. Unfortunate things that happened are Florida’s more than fifteen losing seasons, Steve Spurrier resigned, and Ron Zook did not do well. 1907 University of Florida Football Team

  4. Differences between Spurrier, Zook, and Meyer Spurrier is the similar to Meyer because they both won at least one national title and had a Heisman trophy winner. Zook is different because he did not have a national title or a Heisman trophy winner

  5. The good that comes from resigning The good that comes from resigning is that you know that another great coach is going to come after you, just like Spurrier resigned because he wanted to coach an NFL team. Ron Zook then got hired and shortly got fired because he had two straight losing seasons. Finally, Urban Meyer got hired and has won two national titles (to be continued…)
