In a recent ESPN article Spurrier says he understands Mike Davis is likely to leave for the NFL a year early.
quote:

"Mike Davis, if he has a big year, he's going to go pro," South Carolina coach Steve Spurrier said after his annual media golf event Thursday. "And we're going to tell him to go pro, because he should. The lifespan of a running back is only a certain amount of years. If a young man after three years can go, we're going to shake his hand and let him go. That's why you keep recruiting more running backs." 

quote:


"The thing as a running back is your life expectancy isn't long in the NFL," South Carolina running backs coach Everette Sands said Thursday. "Here in the SEC, it's probably the closest thing to the NFL." 


Sorry Bama fans, no mention of Saban or Bama by Spurrier for you to bitch about.

Any coach that cares about their players would do the same thing.

Looks like you are preemptively bitching about us bitching.

What if a player is making a bad decision, and the coach sees that he has a chance to make significantly more money by staying another year?

Not surprising. Our coach actually cares about our players' futures.

I'm sure watching Lattimore's injuries only reinforced his position on this.
