re: South Carolina fans, why was Richard Bell fired in 1982 after just one year?

Was that clear going in to '82? BTW, wasn't Red Wilson at Duke?

That was clear going-in. He was told he was interim and on a trial basis ... and he got a fair shot.

And come to think of it your are right, Wilson was the HC at Duke. I dunno why I was thinking about our series in the later 80s with Duke when Spurrier was the HC. Matter of fact, Spurrier's only opening day loss as a college HC came to South Carolina in 88 I think it was.

Also ironically, Wilson had replaced Mike McGee, who would later become our AD, as HC at Duke. McGee had won the Outland Trophy while an OLineman at Duke in the late 50s.
