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.
He changed a lot in the SEC. He truly is one of a kind.

All I can really compare it to in my life is RC Slocum's retirement, RC didn't accomplish what the HBC did but he was at A&M forever and I was sad to see him go, just like I'm sad to see Spurrier leave the game.

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.
Have a love hate relationship with Miles. He pisses me off to to no end and I think he often underperforms, but I love his brand of football (within reason). I have no interest in becoming a soft HUNH type program and hope his eventual replacement brings the same style: win in the trenches and play good defense.

I don't know what you're talking about.
My parents only wish him a fast and timely death straight to hell.

A great era has come to a sudden end.
One day we will look back at the Saban and Miles years at LSU with fondness. We have gotten 2 great coaches in a row, I hope we strike gold with the next hire as well.

Not saying I remember Spurrier's whole career...just him coming off the bench for the 49ers when John Brodie went down.
OH....and being the holder on field goals.

As one of the younger posters I always hated that I only saw his tenure at South Carolina I would have loved to have watched him in his prime as a player/coach at Florida, San Fran, & Duke.

I used to loathe him because he destroyed LSU and basically everyone in the 90's at Florida. Looking back, he's a great coach and entertaining to boot.

Heard this on radio this morning. Prior to Spurrier USCe had been to four bowls. He took them to nine, won four in a row and five total.

He's the reason your parents still hate Florida and Spurrier.
I don't know a single person in my family that hates him.

Both of my parents are UK alumns and what I posted has been their sentiment.
I texted my dad when I found out and he said and I quote "he can go frick himself."

I'm sure they do hate him as Spurrier only lost to Kentucky like 4 times and all were at South Carolina

and Spurrier retiring is probably a weird jolt to you all who have seen his entire career.
not really. HE's old as dirt as far as CFB coaches go and we've all known that this was bound to happen eventually, it was only a matter of when. This isn't jolting at all.
However, in 2001 when he left UF in his prime to go to the redskins....THAT was a jolt. Mainly because 1)he still had many good years left in the tank and he was still at the top of the heap and b)it basically came out of nowhere.

Spurrier was actually a bust in the NFL as a player. He was a good coach right out of the gate at Duke.

I'm confused, are you saying you're one of the older posters or younger posters?

Why would you attempt to gather all the stupid posters in one place?
Young people are dumb as shite.

Alabama and LSU both have arguably their best coaches ever.

Dear God, Man! Be careful ... someone might read that for one of the Gumps!

I bet a good number of under 25 year olds on here might try to say saban is the best coach they've had.

I remember him as a player (both college and his back up role in the pros). Coaches come and go. I watched Bryant through his entire career at Alabama, much of Shug's, the majority of Vaughts and the multiple failures of of State's with a few success stories sprinkled in there. I always like to see legends go out before they lose their edge. I think it's obvious it's time for Spurrier to go. Just a little surprised he is doing it mid season.
