Hey, backup QB is the best job in the NFL. And SOS did that for something like 10 years! Nice gig if you can get it...
He started for Tampa in 1976, uhhh, well, maybe I shouldn’t mention that.

In 1976, Spurrier got his wish when he was traded to the expansion Tampa Bay Buccaneers. He was back in Florida again, a fresh start, but he clashed almost immediately with Bucs coach John McKay, a hardnosed guy who believed in a strong defense and a ponderous running game. Spurrier, being Spurrier, was still a good ol’ boy, even at 31, who believed in jes tossin’ the ole ball around a little. “Having some fun,” he called it, but McKay was not a “having some fun” kind of guy. He wasn’t amused when Spurrier showed up at practice without a shirt or shoes, like Tom Sawyer going fishing. McKay was even less amused when Spurrier showed up late for the Bucs’ first game. On those rare occasions when both men agreed on Spurrier’s need to throw more passes, they still clashed. McKay told Spurrier to pass the ball more to his son, John McKay, Jr., a wide receiver. Why should he do that, Spurrier said, when “he’s the worst receiver on the team?”
McKay had had enough. He waited for a chance to humiliate Spurrier, and when he found it, he yanked him from a game in the middle of an offensive series, announcing in front of the team, “the f-—ing honeymoon is over, Spurrier.” By the end of the Bucs’ disastrous 0-14 season, even Spurrier’s 9-year-old daughter Lisa was booing him. When her mother asked why she was booing her father, Lisa said, “Because everyone else is.”
