re: How quick will South Carolina fall on their face when Spurrier leaves

Potentially yes, but to think the next guy is not going to miss a beat after spurrier isn't a given. UT had better history, tradition, fan support, etc. when Fulmer left but they've gone 5 years now either being mediocre or downright atrocious. The pieces may be in place, but none of that matters if you don't have the right guy.

Fulmer didn't leave. He was pushed out after years of being good, but not as great as they had been like their hungry fan base wanted. UT was a historic power that got full of themselves and thought they deserved better than what they had. So they pushed out a coach who had been giving them competitive teams for years after a couple of stumble seasons. The resulting shite show was inevitable. The pressure to perform up to fan expectations was a great motivator for coaches to not want that job. If you can get rid of a coach who had been winning what incentive is there for a new coach who has to follow that up?

So which of our schools is poised for repeating this history?
