His greatest coaching accomplishment may very well have been coaching Duke to the 1988 ACC Title.

I have heard nothing of Steve Spurrier Jr. Is he not that highly regarded?

I think Spurrier would still be at Florida if someone had not really irritated him.

I remember my dad and I saw Duke destroy UNC 41-0 in 1989 in the freezing cold.

I guess that lopsided win by LSU, and 4 straight SEC loss, was too much for him to handle. He should have quit after last season like he said he was going to. That along with people trashing him I don’t blame him. What does he need the aggravation for? South Carolina has never had as winning a team as they have under Steve. Enjoy yourself Steve, you deserve it.

Bad things happen when your team can’t beat Missouri.

Mark Richt is next.

MIZ!!!

I hope Richt stays forever, or at least until the next time Bama has to go to Athens.

Bad day for coaches with the initials SS at schools with the initials USC.

I don’t like Dan Snyder! But then, who does?

I didn’t like Steve Spurrier, either, until he left the Redskins with $15 million of Dan Snyder’s money!

After that, I liked him.

I still don’t like Dan Snyder — he ruined the Redskins, and continues to do so.

Retiring? He is quitting his team in the middle of the season. I never have liked him.
