Spurrier retiring

It's hard to imagine it not being health-related. Simply bailing on the team midseason would be pretty bad.

This!! I thought he would come back for 1 more year after this one, but perhaps he sees the cubbard is bare. Must be a early tee time tomorrow.
 
He always said he would hang it up when he felt like he couldn't compete anymore. What a shocker... as all have wondered I can only speculate as to the reason behind it.


Steve Spurrier has etched his name among the elite in college football.
 
I suspect he just felt it was time. That team is going nowhere this season. Give them plenty of time to find a replacement and get set for next year.

I hope he gets on Gameday or some such show. He needs to keep trolling and hating, especially on the dwags and also Dabo.
 
Gives an assistant an audition and doesn't leave the whole recruiting class out to dry at the end of the season. I still imagine it's health related, but it could have been calculated.

One and a half good seasons in FBS in a conference that is godawful? I don't know. Fritz has a solid track record in FCS and D2 but I don't see that happening.

I hope to talk to some of my friends who are USCe ex players and boosters later this week, see what they know about what's going on there.
 
Too bad Charlie Strong won this past weekend bc I'm sure he would've been 1st choice with his connections there

I think Beamer will retire this season too.

The sooner these teams announce, the sooner they can start talking to other coaches.
 
Confirmed: Jon Gruden to South Carolina. Word is the selling point was 2 Hooter's within 20 minutes of campus.

Oh, yeah. People are rushing in to install the TO with no focus on D - oh, I get it TIC.

I can see them going after Patterson.

Steve Spurrier was also king of the one liner. Here are some of the best:
1. On a fire at Auburn that destroyed 20 books: “The real tragedy was that 15 hadn't been colored yet."
2. Playing at Tennessee: “Will be the 14th time I've coached in Neyland Stadium. I've coached there more than some of their head coaches.”
3. On Tennessee: “You can't spell Citrus without U-T.”
4. On Tennessee QB Peyton Manning: “I know why Peyton came back for his senior year. He wanted to be a three-time star of the Citrus Bowl.”
5. On playing Georgia early in the season. “I sort of always liked playing them that second game because you could always count on them having two or three key players suspended.”
6. On whether Florida would beat Georgia: "Is Ray Goff still coaching there?”
7. When coaching Washington on hoping for consistent success against the Dallas Cowboys: “Hopefully [they can be] our Georgia.”
8. On why he might lose more in the pros than college: "There are no Vanderbilts in the NFL."
9. On Clemson: ""They’ve got a good team, but continue to not play very well when they play us for some reason."
10. After Dabo Swinney said they were from different planets. Swinney from Mars, Spurrier from Pluto. "Dabo probably thinks there's [still] nine planets out there."
11. On recruiting in Alabama: “In 12 years at Florida, I don't think we ever signed a kid from the state of Alabama. Of course, we found out later that the scholarships they were giving out at Alabama were worth a whole lot more than ours.”
12. On Florida State: “You know what FSU stands for, don't you? Free Shoes University.”
13. On Jadeveon Clowney getting a speeding ticket: “I didn't know Jadeveon's car that could go that fast. He doesn't have a pretty car like those FSU guys used to drive."
14. On Vanderbilt becoming a tough game: “They're not slow guys anymore.”
15. On Bobby Petrino: “Good football coach and had about as much fun as I did in the NFL.”
16. On coaching so long: “I forgot to get fired and I’m not going to cheat.”

One of my favorite coaches and personalities of all time.

Tip of the cap to the OBC!
 
Showing up to the 2011 Clemson game dressed as Stephen Garcia was a troll job the OBC would've been proud of. That was you, wasn't it Wes?
