Title: Re: Spurrier retiring per source. Post by: Jamos on October 12, 2015, 08:26:39 PM I hate he waited so long in doing so, he was a much better coach a few years ago and I wish he had retired when he was on top.

From someone in the know, apparently, things started going downhill when Spurrier put his son in charge of recruit evaluations a couple of years ago. The consensus among fans is that Spurrier Jr. is way out of his element. Spurrier Sr. may be cutting bait. Title: Re: Spurrier retiring per source.

If I were CKS, I think would get my feet wet in a different conference than the SEC. The SEC is a tough conference to get your initiation. Title: Re: Spurrier retiring per source.

Here's the Sports Illustrated Link: http://www.si.com/college-football/2015/10/12/south-carolina-head-coach-steve-spurrier-retire Might have been Spurrier's own words that hurt recruiting. Quote After South Carolina's decline in 2014, speculation swirled about Spurrier's future. He told The State, “Gimme two or three more [years],” a statement that hurt him in recruiting players who would be in college for up to five years. Spurrier later backtracked and called a press conference in July in which he said he'd stay at South Carolina for “five or six more years.” |
