re: Would you put Spurrier in the same class as Bryant, Neyland, Saban?

Spurrier had one big issue. Recruiting. He was lazy about it. In terms of Gameday coaching, he is one of the best of all time. Hands down. If he recruited like Bowden did he would have 4-5 titles. He just was never a big recruiter. Never kissed arse on the trail. He is also an elite builder. He did it at Duke, Florida, and Usc bringing all of them to their peak levels. So he has a special place, but he isn't with Bryant or Neyland. I'd put him second group. Dooley and Spurrier are about the same. Spurrier probably a little stronger.
