When you are compared negatively to the Zooker it is not a good sign.
From Stewart Mandel on Si.com
It would take someone who’s been around longer than me to come up with an example of a coach who, like Steve Kragthorpe, was handed the keys to what most believed a ready-made title contender only to go out and immediately crash it into the neighbor’s fence. The closest comparison I can think of is Ron Zook’s 8-5 debut season at Florida, but even that’s not necessarily apt, as the Gators still remained relatively competitive in the SEC (6-2) even if that wasn’t up to the lofty standard set by predecessor Steve Spurrier.
