Spurrier bails on an 0-4 team midseason....
after responding during the offseason to negative recruiting about his age that he would be there 4-5 more years....

True to form - he wouldn't be a lame duck coach for one day. It will be good to see him wearing orange and blue again.

Re: South Carolina Gamecocks
We're going to the USC game this weekend. I wonder if the fans will come out in appreciation of all he's done for SC football, or if they will stay away as a scornful sendoff?

Re: South Carolina Gamecocks
Welp, just read the report, he ain't even going to be on the sidelines this weekend. There must be something going on in his personal life, b/c that win over UNC to open the season was enough to give him job security for several years, irregardless of if he lost every other game...

Re: South Carolina Gamecocks
Nobody cares enough about UNC to call it a "job-saver", except maybe Duke and NCSU.
I think he basically said "fuck this shit" and just quit. He doesn't care any more. I've told my wife all year that Spurrier stopped caring and it has showed. I don't blame him - if I was 70 years old, had tons of "fuck you" money, and had a bunch of people telling me I sucked at my job and should do this and this and this differently, I'd do the same thing.
Good for you Steve.

Re: South Carolina Gamecocks
This is SOS' m.o. - he waited until after the bowl game to announce he was leaving UF, he left $10Mill on the table when he quit the Skins, and he wasn't going to spend a day coaching Carolina when his heart wasn't in it. I'm still amazed that he coached to 70.

Re: South Carolina Gamecocks
He said he resigned and not retired so he will probably be leaving money on the table at the USC.

Re: South Carolina Gamecocks
SOS is the third best coach of my lifetime, after Bryant and Saban. He's a stud in my book. I wish him well whatever he does.
Maybe he will go from USCe to USCw.

I dunno, the all time wins leader was in your lifetime. And the active win% leader now coaches at the same school.

Re: South Carolina Gamecocks
Damn it, I just got my tickets from Stub Hub, I paid $80 for $40 face value tickets. They are club level, though, and I am assuming they will be serving alcohol, so it's worth it...

With apologies to Eminem...
Now this looks like a job for me
So everybody just follow me
We need a little controversy
Cause it seems to empty without Steve...
