"After Ron Turner was fired as head coach following the 2004 season, Illinois’ then-Athletics Director Ron Guenther replaced him with Ron Zook, who had just been fired at Florida.

Zook’s first job was to assemble a coaching staff and the person he tabbed to be his offensive coordinator was Larry Fedora, who’d worked for him at Florida.

Fedora visited Champaign, toured the underwhelming facilities (that was before the Memorial Stadium renovation) and told Zook he would take the job.

But within a few days, Fedora had a change of heart. He backed out, leaving Zook without a coordinator."
