Agreed. Anybody that could win at Duke, back in the day, was no slouch.
Totally agree with this. I often wondered what Spurrier would have done at LSU with all the talent in this state. IIRC, we as LSU fans KNEW, Saban was leaving for the NFL practically the whole year. Spurrier was sitting out there with no job. I think Lou Holtz was a big factor in getting Spurrier to South Carolina. That same year Saban bolts for the NFL and leaves LSU at the alter.
Saban recommends his good friend Houston"fricking Nutt, to replace him as the Head Coach at LSU. Good thing the powers that be didn't go that route. We ended up with Les Miles which wasn't bad, but damn, it would have been fun seeing Spurrier run that"Fun and Gun" offense here in Baton Rouge with all the weapons that would have been at his disposal and the talent in the state of Louisiana. Just my 2 cents.

Spurrier and Holtz were very good friends, so I think you are absolutely correct. A lot of people didn't know that. When Holtz's wife was diagnosed with cancer, Spurrier called Holtz at least every week to check on his wife.
