Somebody is going to get a pretty good coach when they hire Larry Coker.

Coach Spurrier just announced to his team that he is not going anywhere and that the team is stuck with him until he does what he came to South Carolina to do. CHAMPIONSHIP. I guess he will be gone after next year.....ha ha ha.

This is NOT a rumor and remember who told you first. The 7 year 29 million dollar contract was signed between Steve Spurrier and the University of Alabama last night shortly after 10:00 p.m. After the bowl game announcements Sunday it will be publicly announced at a press conference. I wanted to spill it earlier on here but I wanted a 2nd confirmation, one in the Athletic Department and another from the Law Firm that drew it up. Thank you Vols, and have a nice Day!!! :dance2: :rock:

Then explain this from the bama Board posted on 12/01 @ 2:47 AM

Search focuses in on Saban
By Jess Nicholas

As Thursday came and went with no confirmation of any meeting or contract talks with Steve Spurrier – and with the only news on the subject at all coming out of South Carolina suggesting Spurrier has pulled his name from consideration – TideFans.com’s original take on the situation, that Nick Saban is at the center of this coaching search, seems confirmed.

Sources had long indicated Alabama would wait on Saban to at least consider an offer before moving onto the next target. Spurrier’s name was not originally thought to be a legitimate candidate for the job

the Huntsville (AL) Times reported yesterday (from AP wire) that Alabama has requested to talk with Spurrier. Then, as you guys have posted well, Spurrier had a meeting with his team around 3:45 to let them know he wasn't going anywhere. On the radio show I listen to regularly (730 am-- 730ump.com) they had a reporter from Jacksonville who is a 'good friend' of Spurrier and he echoed the same thing EVERYONE's been saying except Bammers, Spurrier is a Gamecock and WILL BE a Gamecock for the next couple of years. :twocents: There, I've done my part. Go Big Orange!!

This is the TRUTH and you guys need to know. President Robert Witt and Athletic Director Mal Moore asked me to start a covert campaign of smoke and mirrors on Volnation.com implying the hiring of Steve Spurrier. While I protested at first, they convinced me that it was the best thing to do to hide the fact that they had just signed Nick Saban to a long term contract. My loyalties to our football program became more important than my moral fortitude, and for that I AM SORRY. Since Coach Saban is now secured as our Head Coach I will graciously accept any possible public ridicule, punishment and or banishment as seen fit by Volnation Moderators.

Regretfully,

Tusk, Do you think there was ever anything to it? It looks like Rich Rodriguez is the the only A-list guy left who has indicated any interest in the job but it looks like Bama would have to pay him something close to what they were allegedly going to pay Spurrier. I'm not convinced that RR is worth that much. Do you think it's on to Plan B now?

My own understanding is that it got very serious early yesterday. To the point that at least one Trustee believed it would in fact happen...

I had a sales manager that called that syndrome, "Smokin' Hope-ium."

Spurrier was NEVER going to 'Bama.

VH, we all thought that it was actually done. Not just close but done. Now I am scratching my head as to why SS wouldn't take MORE than 3 times his current pay and have better facilities. Now our administration is running around like a teenage girl the day before the prom trying to find a date.
