I put one more season just because he has already called a press conference to announce that is not about to retire. I think he has too much pride to go back on that so fast. I don't see him coaching a bad team deep into his seventies either.

"Will go out on his own terms".....at the end of the season

QUOTE=WilliamDuVOL;11804848]I think this season really dictates it. I mean, absolute worst case scenario I could see them lose to UGA, Mizzou, LSU, A&M, UT, Florida, and Clemson. If Spurrier goes 4-8 or 5-7 I could see him gone after this year. If he turns the ship around and they go 6-6 or 7-5 or better perhaps he treats next year as a wait and see year with the next recruiting cycle. If they lose to big to UGA this weekend I think the doomsday scenario is much more likely.[/QUOTE]

I actually wouldn't be too surprised to see him stay long enough to win his 15 more games (to give him that whole, only coach with 100 wins at two programs thing) and then hang it up.




But I also can't see South Carolina forcing him out / would be somewhat stunned to see that school do that to him...unless he starts winning 2-3 games a year or something.

Maybe to an extent but were Terry Dean, Doug Johnson and Jesse Palmer significantly better than what he's had at SC? His offense is very conventional now.

(You forgot Shane Matthews and Rex Grossman)

Than Blake Mitchell, Chris Smelley, Syvelle Newton, Cade Thompson, Tommy Beecher, Stephen Garcia, Reid McCollum, Andrew Clifford, Seth Strickland, Andrew Clifford, Connor Shaw, Austin Hails, Dylan Thompson and Connor Mitch?


I'd say yes.


I guess Perry Orth still has a chance to prove that wrong, though, but we'll see.

Kiffin to USCe after Spurrier. At least that's what Finebaum callers are saying. Wouldn't it be nice to play him as a head coach every year?

Spurrier's done. He had the greatest wit, a hallmark of East Tennesseans, the game has ever seen.

The best crack he ever dropped was when he taunted Auburn after they'd had a dorm fire that destroyed 20 books with this:

"The real tragedy was that 15 hadn't been colored yet."

I hope he takes a job as Butch Jones's coachspeak translator for next year.

Spurrier controls his own future. He is done when he says. SC has beeternchances with him there than any replacement they hope to attract.

While I'd like to take great enjoyment in that losing to Kentucky 2 years in a row forced out the HBC, he's won enough to retire on his own terms.

Who else is USCjr gonna get? I was LMAO yesterday when some goober on Finebaum said that Jon Gruden was in play as the HBC's replacement.

I would love to see him at a rival school just to see the nuclear meltdown that would happen on this board. It would be epic.

Spurrier, IMO, will coach at least two more years and maybe more--unless things really go south and he decides to retire. I saw an interview with him before this season and he suggested that he was happy coaching and not at all ready to retire.

I was wishing he would retire last year. The ole ball coach has been a great coach. His time has passed him by. I hate to see the great ones keep hanging on. It serve them no purpose
