Who knows?

If Spurrier leaves, I'll miss his interviews and trolling of Clemson.

So we're a destination program and not a stepping stone?

I'm cool with that.

An interesting stat that is somewhat related:

Every school that Lou Holtz has been a head coach at has ended up on probation based on violations that occurred during his tenure:
NC State, Minnesota, Arkansas, Notre Dame, and South Carolina.

Pretty wild IMO.
