He's back - Spurrier named ambassador / consultant at UF

[volsfan24017]

May cause problems. Don't you think McEllwain will be looking over his shoulders?

No. Spurrier's coaching days have come and gone. He's there for an easy paycheck and golf.

 

[HoptownVol]

I would have sworn he was kept on at SC to do the same thing?

Florida Athletic Director Jeremy Foley announced Friday that the Head Ball Coach is returning to his alma mater as Ambassador and Consultant
to the UF Athletic Department. Spurrier's duties include serving as a mentor to UF coaches, as a representative at Gator Booster functions, as
a bridge between former players and the school, and other roles yet to be determined.

Well, as long as he's in the news and being quoted regularly.

Spurrier Back Where He Belongs - Florida Gators

 

[TN Outlaw]

He just craved a few more butt whoopin's from Butch. No biggie

 

[lovavol]

Wgaf, dh steve and the Gators suck

 

[VolsRule]

"ambassador" --- is that a paid position? steve has millions banked from his jobs at fla and usc---how much money will they be paying him for this do nothing job???

 

[volswitten1]

Lining up that AD job.

 

[TNnative]

No. Spurrier's coaching days have come and gone. He's there for an easy paycheck and golf.

Expecting quotes, especially during Tennessee week.


Spurrier is like a social disease without a cure. I guess we will never be truly rid of him.

 

[08Vol]

Thank god we honored him at the Orange and White game this year...

And Daniel Snyder lined his pockets too at Washington.

 

[VolPack22]

Wouldn't surprise me if they are eventually going to name him as Foley's replacement since he is stepping down soon.

 

[Johnnyreb#VFL]

Now I'm positive we beat Florida this year. Butch owns Spurrier

 

[Boca Vol]

And Daniel Snyder lined his pockets too at Washington.

I believe he actually quit instead of getting fired where he would have been owed the remainder of his contract.

 

[Special Ed]

I heard he was offered the same position at Science Hill but turned it down.
I guess Johnson City just ain't good enough for him now.

 

[Biopsyman]

I thought he was going to sell used cars with that awful maroon coat

 

[hmhawk]

I heard he was offered the same position at Science Hill but turned it down.
I guess Johnson City just ain't good enough for him now.

I despise Spurrier not only for his snide remarks about UT but also about the state in general. He said he would never live in TN but that's okay because we don't want the scum sucker.

 

[malinoisvol]

Lining up that AD job.

Yep. I'd say you are correct. With Foley retiring in a couple months, timing is dead on.

 

[Coug]

Spurrier just isn't handling retirement very well. He just doesn't know what to do.

 

[BeecherVol]

Golfing with boosters is low stress and lucrative for the effort.

 

[RDU VOL#14]

Yep. I'd say you are correct. With Foley retiring in a couple months, timing is dead on.

No way he wants the AD job. He hated traveling for recruiting, no way he's going to every corner of Florida to raise money for UF, which is basically the role of AD's in this day and age.

 

[Lawrence Wright]

Spurrier just isn't handling retirement very well. He just doesn't know what to do.

Sounds like he knows exactly what he wants to do.

 

[Ned Ray McWorkher]

Sure does. He's going to be teaching Coach Teeth proper dental hygiene.

 

[orangebloodgmc]

I hope they hand him a little visor to throw. He's gonna need it.

And I just joined the tail-end of this thread without reading the rest of it, so if someone has already said what I did, then, great minds think alike.

Expecting quotes, especially during Tennessee week.


Spurrier is like a social disease without a cure. I guess we will never be truly rid of him.

The cure is to beat his beloved Gators.

 

[Orange_Crush]

Will they please please please give him a segment of the presser after the UT game this year so he can mumble for two minutes and then end the presser?




But only as the last speaker. I'd like Coach Incisors to field some questions first.

"Coach, what changed? I thought you just didn't lose to TN?"

Coach Incisors: "Well, to be fair... we didn't 'just' lose to them. We got killed by them."

 

[VFL-82-JP]

I bet ole Stevie quits his ambassador job mid-season in a couple of years if we turn the streak on its head.
