Does Spurrier ever say anything bad about Saban?

from the spring of 2012...

"He's got a nice little gig going, a bit like (John) Calipari. He tells guys, 'Hey, three years from now, you're going to be a first-round pick and go.' If he wants to be the greatest coach or one of the greatest coaches in college football, to me, he has to go somewhere besides Alabama and win, because they've always won there at Alabama."

somebody said spurrier said this about saban, but i can't find any definitive proof on it...

"I honestly don't think king Nick will ever leave Bama. They are the
perfect match. A guy with no conscience and no ethics, worshiped by a
fan base too stupid to value either."

Just curious to see everyone's opinion on when Spurrier will take a shot at Coach Jones. It is bound to happen eventually, it is almost a tradition for the old ball coach to take a shot at our coach.

There were the many times over the years with him and Phil, and he quickly went after both Kiffin and Dooley so I wonder how much longer until Butch gets his glib remark.

My guess is an obvious one with SEC media days.

Kiffin did add fuel to the fire by telling Alshon Jeffrey he would be pumping gas if he went to USCe instead of Tennessee lol

And yet you suggest he's following Sun Tzu with regards to throwing quips at opponents? How about those same quips he constantly uses on his own team? Have you actually read Sun Tzu? I have. Sun Tzu isn't Machiavelli.

Anyone who knows steve spurrier knows he hates georgia above all other things.

Most of the other stuff is who he is combined with the philosophy of sun tzu, which he happens to agree with.

Basically, he runs his mouth every now and then because he believes it does effect the opponent. The more he thinks it works and the more he wins, the more he runs his mouth.

So, when he took jabs at tennessee back in the 90's, it was mainly because he thought he got into tennessee's head.....not because of some long suppressed hatred he had for tennessee.

personnally, i usually think he knows his opponent pretty well and his instincts are correct. i do think he got into tennessee's head back in the day and i believe he is in clemson's head now.

I read that this was true from one of his assistant coaches during the 90's. He intentionally taunted UT and Fulmer because he felt that it threw us off from our strengths - a big, strong OL with great running backs. He felt his taunts goaded UT into passing more which favored UF.

Could be CBJ can give more than he gets....a man that can cover the ground he covers without making a lot of dust can probably handle a zinger.

I don't know about that, because Jones does not seem the type to go around hatching out wise cracks about other coaches. Why should he take up his time to be a drain when he is all fountain?

SOS will start doing that when UT becomes a threat(either beating USC or making noise recruiting in South Carolina)

you've lost me.

i said spurrier throws barbs because he thinks agitating his opponent helps him win.

you posted something about spurrier and fulmer turning the game into a rivalry and the sec promoting the game.

i said spurrier didn't care about any of that, he was just trying to get into the head of his opponent.

That is absolutely idiotic.

Yeah, I'm dreaming that he didnt call a 40 yard pass play the next play after Lattimores injury or when Connors arm was hurt in the Vandy game and it looked like the kid was in agony, he kept him in the entire game, even though it was risking his playing career. How about that time at Florida when that LSU kids dad died and he kept calling pass plays to that CB and no one else? I can go on and on .

ok. you're losing me even more now.

agitating your opponent to throw your opponent off his game is straight out of sun tzu

Not quite, Sun Tzu is into deception, and using his surroundings against his opponent. Machiavelli is into using disadvantages against someone.

Sun Tzu would not use jabs to get into a offense's head. He would use a lot of disguises to get you to turn the ball over.
