Ok. So at the time that Knight retired, his Texas tech team sat at 12-8, which is about a 67% W/L record. He had just recorded his 900th win. A huge milestone. So retiring after all those years and being one of a handful of coaches to win 900 games is pretty significant.

When Spurrier quit, his team was sitting at 2-4 and was likely staring at a losing season. He did not reach any kind of sports milestone. He was looking at a really tough year and seemingly didn't want to deal with it.

I really don't see how they are even remotely similar but you are entitled to your opinion as I am mine.

Spurrier hadn't reached any milestones? And Knight resigned, handing the keys over to his son to a bottom feeder Big XII team

That's not entirely true either. The mid-season departure upset a number of fans that I know.

There are only so many ways to leave a job, he wasn't fired.

He enjoyed beating the Vols too much, had he known how close our game was gonna be, I think he would have postponed his departure, hoping to get one more.

He was a great coach, but the way his football team beat my football team at football for such a long time, the only satisfaction I have is, the last time we played him at Florida and South Carolina we beat him.

And he showed class at the O&W game.
I wish him the best, now that he has retired.
