True, and Spurrier felt "passed up" in lieu of Archer. Another early name was Mike Shanahan.
Spurrier always took the UF/LSU game personal. And it was Arnsbarger who made this yearly "crossover rivalry" a permanent fixture in the SEC(referencing those who think LSU did any damage to UF's program. Nope. It's still there).
In fact, we rarely won against Spurrier. The SC game last year was his worst defeat in points. It was no coincidence at all that he retired. He knows that the game has passed him by.
This is what he has professed to Saban as well. Know when to retire. I just wish Les Miles knew.

I'll add one. Arkansas lost to "The Citadel" Sept. 5, 1992. I was in the stands. Ark fumbled the ball deep on the Citadel end, Citadel player scoops and scores. I was allot like those Ole Miss Students we saw last season on the 4 and 25 Hunter Henry pitch. Shock and disbelief. Result of the lost was the HC Jack Crowe was fired the next day, and Joe Kines assumed interim HC. Was a horrible season after that. Was years before the Arkansas program showed any life after that game.
LINK
What the Arkansas fanbase didn't know yet, was how little talent was on that team. The former HC before Crowe was Ken Hatfield who bolted for Clemson site unsent 1.5 year before Crowe was fired. So while the fall was coming, and it was so many factors that would result is the Arkansas crash, it was the Citadel game that destroyed the facade, with subsequent next morning firing 2 games into the season undoubtedly making it much worse.
