Spurrier's had one or two good years and a lot more 8-5 type seasons...he's a guy that has a better record than he deserves because of the defensive side of the ball he has nothing to do with...his offenses collectively have been average at best. The SEC is the best conference in the country now, and was the best conference in the country in the nineties as well. Bama was consistently strong, as was Georgia, as was Auburn, and fla obviously...in the 90's the sec had 5 teams in the top 25 for the decade...aub tn bama fla ga...in the 00's they had 5 teams as well just trade lsu f bama.
The SEC has been rediculously strong for more than the past 4 years. Fulmer got swept up by Tubbs, Meyer, Saban, Spurrier, Richt, and Miles. Far cry from schlubs like Danny Ford, Dinardo, Ray Goff, Brad Scott, Jim Donnan.
Are you retarded? Ron Zook? It is undeniable fact that spurrier's offenses, the only thing he bothers with, have collectively been very mediocre.
Bill Snyder chose to retire after the 2005 season. Fulmer was fired for lack of results. There's a big difference between the two.
Spurrier wasn't the one who made Florida or Duke or South Carolina good. It was all about his defensive coaches. All the credit should go such coaching heavyweights as Ron Zook and Bob Pruett.
When we won the title, Bama was 7-5 and Auburn was 3-8. Facing Jim Donnan and Mike DuBose is not the same as going up against guys like Saban and Miles. And Fulmer made it painfully obvious that he was going to let those guys stomp all over him.
Maybe we should just hire Ellis Johnson from Southern Miss. Yeah, they're 0-11, but he was the DC at South Carolina so he was definitely the brains behind Spurrier's whole operation.
I just deal in facts, partner...here are usc's collective offensive ranks under spurrier starting with 2005...it is very obvious the relative success that they have had has come on the backs of the defenses, something sos has no hand in...
83/21/71/97/103/37/42/41
2005.
Yeah, we also got destroyed by our rivals 100 to 37 that year.
