I'm 20 , and Spurrier retiring is probably a weird jolt to you all who have seen his entire career.
How weird will it be when Les Miles retires? Or Saban? These programs that don't change coaches every three years. Im gonna miss the old ball coach, but man, it's gonna suck when the Harbaugh era begins.
Alabama and LSU both have arguably their best coaches ever. Can't take this shite for granted

Hmm... Well us old guys have also seen his entire career. Do you mean people that have only seen his career at SC?

Pretty much. I really REALLY got into LSU football and never payed much attention to him until he coached SCAR.
Of course, we all know what the guy has done.

Us old guys that are like 40?
It'll be just as strange when CLM or Saban retire.

Neither of those two will be quite the same. SOS played in the SEC, won a heisman, and is a true eccentric southerner. Got the Florida gig while very young and literally changed the SEC. That is not an exaggeration. Pre SOS a trick play in the SEC was a fullback dive.
His roots are deep and southern, thus his impact greater IMO.
Plus I'm a UGA fan. He's literally tormented us for 20 years.

Saban won't be strange to me. His tenure will be legendary but it feels like he hasn't been at Bama that long (yes, I'm old). Miles feels like an institution at LSU. It will be weird to see him go.

Us "old guys" remember when he first went to florida with the fun and gun offense. Some of us bammers remember the 35-0 arse whooping we took at the swamp.

I never really got to enjoy football until I was older. Spurriers tenure at Florida is a faint faint memory. Posted on 10/13/15 at 6:32 am to northshorebamaman
I honestly dread the day Miles leaves. He IS LSU . The guy bleeds P&G and we've been nothing but successful with him. He's all I've really known, and kind of grows on you.

Same here. Saban didn't get to Bama until my sophomore year in college.

Remember sitting in Sanford Stadium as they announced scores. Guy says "Kentucky 17" dramatic pause "Florida 63". There was an audible gasp. No one had ever heard of a score like that. Facing Florida in the early years carried the doom of the blitzkrieg.

That's because he's like a hired gun, he always remains aloof and never really gets attached to a program.

I definitely remember the Shula years....poor guy wasn't a bad coach per se, he was just a mediocre HEAD COACH.

Spurrier was an extremely successful head coach in the SEC for almost 25 years. That's right at what Miles and Saban have combined in the SEC. I'm 29 and some of my earliest memories of college football are of him at UF. But yes by the time Miles retires, it will be a very sad day for me :(

There's truth to that but at the same time, there isn't a program in the country that wouldn't be thrilled to have him.

Typically, a really good coach is followed by a bunch of not so good coaches.

Just be glad that you didn't have to live through his UF run as an LSU fan. It was brutal

Combine curly with spurrier and we didn't even need to bother with the game.

A faint memory? If you are 20 years old, he stopped coaching there when you were 6. I highly doubt you remember shite from when he was a florida coach.

he made running up the score famous and he backed it up with a little shite talk. He also had some great quotes about Peyton Manning(all time citrus bowl MVP) and FSU (Free shoes U).
