being fired at the end of the year.. I guess he figured leaving on his terms was the last decision he could make, and it's not like he's a great mentor who will guide his staff to being NC -HC's.
Spurrier had zero chance of being fired unless major sanctions are on the way or he has been getting wasted before games.

Tenner's having a better year than USC and their coach should be fired.. I agree the OBC has earned some latitude but really in college football that's just not how it works anymore.

To be fair, his team quit on him first.

Kiffin bailed on us and now he coaches for you, Saban bailed on LSU and the Dolphins and now he coaches for you. Just forget about it, he's a great coach with a great legacy ,and hes one of the all-time greatest characters in CFB. I guarantee he doesn't give a shite what you think.

I suspect in time he will regret his decision. He has a history of being a bit over zealous on things and this time he handled it wrong.
What we know is:
The admin would not ask him to retire mid season. They may have asked pre-season and CSS declined not wanting a victory lap, but it makes no sense to handle this mid season.
The only benefit to the program of giving it up early is to help the process move quicker toward fixing things. Again that could have been achieved by announcing this was his last season and the school was working toward the new direction.
In the end I think he got mad that the PTB didn't give him more rope. So he quit!

He wanted to retire last year but the rumors were hurting recruiting. Now SC gets a head start on the coaching search as more power 5 teams will be looking at seasons end, and get a coach in place by the bowl season so recruits know who they are going to play for.
It's really genius and the best way they could have handled it.

They will not get a great coach, they're USCe. Spurrier is the best coach they have ever had or ever will have. straight back to the shitter for them.

There is no reason he couldn't have announced his retirement now, finish out the season, and pack up the office after Thanksgiving.
It doesn't hurt the team or the administration to finish the season. If he felt he couldn't make the team better, then turn it over to the assistants and stay on as a figurehead for the remainder of the season.

That is the way someone with class would have handled it but Spurrier has never had class and he went out like a crybaby…typical Spurrier.

you can announce your intentions to retire at the end of the season prior to or during the season and it work out better. i'm sorry, but quitting in the middle of a job is never the best way to go about anything

They got Lou Holtz and Steve Spurrier back to back. Perhaps Butch Davis will be next?

Anything less than one of the two above mentioned reasons and he is just a fricking quitter. To quit mid season on your team without a serious reason will blemish his career in my opinion.
Didnt seem to harm urban meyer's career. He did wait until the end of the season TWICE to quit on his players and contract. I guess that makes it ok to QUIT as a football coach, even tho u preach to never do this to your players on a daily basis. Which is worse a 70 yr old man quitting under pressure with a crappy team or a guy in his prime inventing diseases to QUIT.

Im just saying what I think about it. Im actually embarrassed for the guy. This is not how I wanted to see him go out because I had learned to like the guy as he aged but he showed who he truly is in his final move as a coach and I think it is a sad way to end his career.

yea you don't know that either do you,, maybe they told him he was 'finishing out his final season', out of respect and to get him to stop having pressors to tell the world he would be the HBC for the next 10 years. He's still a bit of an eccentric A-type so it's not hard to see why he would quit now rather than leave more quietly on the AD's terms.

To say he has the "right" to quit mid-season is no excuse. As coach, you teach your players to fight through adversity and finish the job.
Posted on 10/13/15 at 10:13 am to SamuelClemens
If he is leaving now for any reason other than health or family health, then I think he is quitting on the players he has recruited and is currently coaching, which is unfortunate. Pretty unfair to them.
