OT: Ol' ball coach retiring

[Whitey23]

 

[Crusty]

Three great jobs open.

 

[Rocco]

Three great jobs open.

USC West, USC East and who else? Please don't say Maryland is a great job.

 

[Garrett_TD23]

Miami, UCF, Philidelphia Eagles

USC West, USC East and who else? Please don't say Maryland is a great job.

Maryland is actually a pretty good job.

Loaded with Under Armour $$$$, new facilities, but increasingly high expectations.

It's not USC, but it's not bad.

Rabid fan base too...I mean Byrd Stadium on a crisp fall night...deafening...

 

[KellySyracuse]

where does Doug Marrone end up? He's got to be applying for one of these jobs

Still wouldn't consider it great.

Great is either of the USC jobs.

I'd heard rumblings for a few weeks about Spurrier retiring after the season. Wonder if he's got some kind of physiological problem that isn't being reported. Doesn't make sense otherwise.

If you pass, and it appears you have, I'll take the job.

Ha.

 

[Stern]

The fact he is retiring on a Monday in the middle of the season tells me there is more to this story. Little odd this is happening in October. Logical guesses is he has a health issue or some scandal is about to hit the press.

Read where he can't stand losing and doesn't have the stomach to take a loss to Vanderbilt.

Still to drop everything on Oct 12th and walk away. There is more to this story.

Or USC is forcing him out due to their poor performance the last few years.

Steve Spurrier is reportedly retiring. Probably the second greatest coach in SEC history behind Bear Bryant [apologies to Nick Saban]. He completely revolutionized the game.

He 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.”

Kind of funny. Usually coaches don't go after their own like that. I guess spurrier likes to take dumps in his own yard.

I can't keep up anymore.

Talking Spurrier, wrong thread bro

Great is either of the USC jobs.

Its not a great job, because Maryland doesn't have the history, but it has potential to be a very good one.

U of South Carolina is also called USC.

At least in South Carolina.

Yup, much like the Rutgers fans who like to think that they actually have a good football program.

USC is University of South Carolina, bro.

[skurey]

South Carolina is USCe or USC lite
