re: Per SportsbyBrooks: High profile SEC coach will quit

Stephen Garcia made SOS' arse quit.

So your telling me that an SEC coach that isn't nutt, joker, or richt will leave after this season? not really all that shocked happens pretty much every year.

The reasons I go right to Spurrier as the coach:

1) He publicly spoke about the need for South Carolina to lower their academic standards to recruit better athletes.

2) He threatened to quit over the University's denial of admission to two players he signed.

3) he hasn't exactly torn it up since he's been at South Carolina...and its not like there haven't been PLENTY of Carolina posters and fans saying it was time for him to go.

4) The Garcia saga surely cost SOMEONE some political capital in the administration.

5) Spurrier's bizarre attack and treatment of a specific reporter at his presser.

6) He's pushing 70.

7) Wasn't there a Board of Trustees member who was saying that black players shouldn't come to USC...?

Not all of them fully formed, but there is something in my head about all of these issues...I know some of them are a few years old, and there may be a new AD in that time...I have no idea. Just throwing it out there.

Problem is that Mal Moore owes Saban his soul. Remember, the guessing game dictates that you're supposed to consider the most likely candidate, not the one which would make you the happiest.

He publicly answered a publicly-asked question about it. No distraction.

Winning the East, beating a #1 ranked team at home, beating Clemson-UF-UGA-Tennessee in the same year had never happened before he came here. And you need to quit reading Cockytalk.

A verbal retort is bizarre and considered an attack?

6) He's pushing 70

Lots of coaches are, but this has nothing to do with his relationship with the AD.

Now you're just trying too damn hard

Congrats CyberNerds, Ya'll have named every coach in the SEC and gave reason why. Great Thread guys.

Which coaches don't have a buyout clause in their contract?
