He is like the genius pothead who aced his first year and then just got stoned for the rest of his college career getting by on smarts and ending with a 3.0 or some bullshite like that.

This dude has had three back to back to back eleven win seasons without making a BCS bowl and he's criticizing Saban. Lol




It must suck having powerhouses like Tennessee and Kentucky keeping him from even going to another SECCG. Also Vandy would have probably beaten them in 2012 but the refs called a totally bullshite penalty late in the fourth.

Saban's just a control freak. He'd be the same way if he'd gone in to any profession. Spurrier, while never as freakishly single-minded as Saban, was pretty damned intense back in the '90s at Florida. His teams might have looked loose with the whole Fun-n-Gun thing, but they were very disciplined. He's just gotten more diffident as he ages, especially since he knows he's at a place where the fans and admins are just incredibly grateful he even took the job, so the pressure to focus on every detail has ebbed for him. And, frankly, he's earned the right to relax and play golf a little more as he approaches retirement.

Nick Saban loves recruiting above all things. He would bring talent to South Carolina the same way he brought it to LSU.


Why do a lot of Bama fans think we had no talent coming to LSU before Saban arrived? He may have stepped it up a bit but we had our fair share of talented players before Saban ever stepped foot in L.A.

I'm talking about how every year Spiurrier loses to someone like Kentucky (2010) right after the greatest upset in school history and teams like Tennessee last year and Vandy in the past. Every year its somebody, don't act like you don't know what I'm talking about.

Spurrier won one national championship at Florida and everybody acts like he's God.


Spurrier slings shite at all SEC teams and people wonder why he's not well liked by a lot of people.

Why are you putting words into my mouth? You can deny it all you want to, but Saban brought in more talent than DiNardo did and then some. Sure...LSU had talented teams in 1996 and 1997, and the records reflect that, but when you compare those teams to the LSU teams of 2005-07, you can't help but laugh.

He's liked by a ton of people

And you can't discredit what he has done at South Carolina. If you do, you're just an idiot.

You said it yourself. Just like you said he would bring talent to South Carolina. It looks to me like Spurrier does a pretty damn good job of getting talent there himself. I don't think Spurrier gets enough credit for the job he's done there. It's not like they were some kind of traditional powerhouse like Alabama that could use their winning history as a recruiting tool. He has built USC into a yearly contender and I don't think just anybody could've done what he has done there.

Yet I'm saying he's worshipped as a god for winning 1 national title at UF. You're only focusing on the USC parts of what I say because you're to busy trying to defend USC to actually ask why is he treated as an equal to someone who has won 3 more national titles and someone who did it at two different SEC schools? Spurrier won many SEC titles and that's excellent and he deserves a lot of respect for that, but let's be real: National Titles > than SEC titles.

Also anybody knows Lou Holtz brought USC back and then hit a rut for a while and Spurrier came right on the heels.

LSU was in far worse shape when Saban took over. Alabama and Florida were pretty equal in terms of talent when Saban and Spurrier took over with a slight edge to Alabama but both had recently been on probation.


You USC fans keep playing both sides of the game as well. You want to be respected like LSU, Bama, Auburn but when people start to compare you to teams like that you play the 'we have a shitty history you can't compare us...'

You can't have it both ways. Either people are right when they say USC is good but not great or you have to quit making excuses for why you haven't been back to the SECCG.

Are you fricking retarded?

No South Carolina fan is putting themselves on the level of Bama, Auburn, or LSU. You're pulling that straight out of your arse.
