Zook seemed to have some improvement right away but it didn't last and he was fired.
It's already in Wikipedia that Turner is the next FIU coach.
I don't know but I'm not sure if I would be too excited about Turner.

Re: Ron Turner -next FIU HC
It's pretty obvious that Garcia was convinced he could land Davis. He probably assumed that Davis could get paid by UNC and FIU at the same time. My guess is that UNC blocked that and Garcia was left with no fall back plan. You don't fire Cristobal to get Ron Turner.
This is great news for us. Any advantage that FIU had built over us the last 3 or 4 years is now completely gone. We have a much better stadium, we are back in the same conference, and now they have dropped their popular coaching staff for a relative outsider in Ron Turner.

We would've freaked out too if right after last season, the rumors surface that were hiring Jim Tressel and then we end up with the brother of a head coach that no one knows. We did end up with a coach who's brother is more famous than he is actually.
Good news, this guy isn't a splash hire and Garcia has really set them back this season with the way this was handled. Who knows what the future holds, but for now FIU has been slowed down.

The FIU fans are pissed. It's hilarious.
How awesome is this? They're so pissed they're taking it out on each other.

then hires this nobody with ZERO recruiting ties in S. Fl AND pays him more than MC.
Well in fairness, we said the same about Pelini. He has 0 ties to So Fla. Lucky for him though he had Jared Allen to fall back on
My two favorite teams are FAU, and who ever is beating FIU!

My favorite line from the FIU blog was…"well at least he is a highly respected QB coach"….I think Strock was too! That worked out well…for FAU!!

Re: Ron Turner -next FIU HC
Cristabol had turned that program around and has one bad season and gets canned.
Isiah Thomas had put together a decent team that was on the verge of being competitive, and he gets canned.
Not sure how things will turn out, but if I was an FIU fan, I would be very concerned about what is coming…and if I was a coaching candidate, why would I want to work for a guy like Garcia?
