Surely you can think of something better to do with that washed up ole coot than play golf.
Spurrier is an icon in the world of SEC football. he's been around as a player and a coach for 50 years; he singlehandedly (seemingly) turned the UF program around as a PLAYER and a COACH. has won the Heisman and won a national championship.
I don't know why you don't like him but you really should respect his lifetime of outstanding contributions to SEC football. AND, at this stage of his life, HE IS A BETTER FOOTBALL COACH THAN BEAR BRYANT WAS (at the same age).
far from washed up.

no figuring required. I lived through it and observed it. i'm not knocking the bear tho man, i'm trying to teach you about spurrier. I also watched him play QB for UF back in the 60's and saw how he taught the SEC the importance of DB's as a coach. he's really one of the great ones and deserves more respect than you gave him. oh, and as an LSU fan, I hate Florida but gotta give Spurrier his due.

I'm 2 years younger than him and have followed his career since he arrived at Florida...as a player. I have no problem giving him a lot of credit for his accomplishments, but to state that he's a better coach than Coach Bryant was is just ridiculous. Hell, Spurrier is 69 years old and Coach Bryant died when he was 69...after winning 323 games and SIX national championships..man please!

I am two years younger than Spurrier also and I can testify to what he accomplished as a player and coach. I remember him when he was a lowly asst coach at Ga Tech for 1 year and they had a qb named Kelley who threw the ball like 40 times a game and they always got crushed by decent teams (AU crushed them too)because of no run game and no defense...I watched Bama (and AU too btw) come into Bobby Dodd Stadium and tear Tech apart...it was one of his NC teams and they ran the wishbone.
But look at Bama history a little closer and in the years Bryant had more of a pass happy offense with Scott Hunter and others...they weren't that good. When Bryant left Bama it was not in great shape...but when he had that wishbone and a defense that was like a brickwall....Bama couldn't be beat much. Both men are icons and there is no "my coach is better than your coach" argument to be made...ok?

Here is the transcript:
Heffner transcript from the Finebaum show talking about Spurrier:
PF: Considering his legandary status among college football coaches, you being one of the major players in that market. What's it like to deal with Steve Spurrier?
TH: Well, Steve, ya know Steve uhm, is interesting to deal with. He does not have a great uhm... he almost has a disdain sometimes for aaahh.. members of the media. He likes the media as long as they are on his side. As long as they are kind of, uhm, well you know, you know Steve, as long as they are towing the company line so to speak, he, ah, he likes the media but once they start questioning him or getting outside of the company line, so to speak, he's not quite as fond of the media. But one thing about Steve Spurrier is, he's never dull and you never know what's coming next.
PF: You know, you say that and I fail to note that he's had this feud for this writer in the local paper in Columbia for going on a couple of years now. I don't even know where that is, but he can be pretty petty. I think that's what you're trying to say.
TH: That's exactly what I'm trying to say. I think every stop he's been in, he's tried to get some writer fired, and the truth of the matter is, and I've told him before is Why do you worry about that, you own the city,. Just go coach football and don't worry about the media. But I think he does get kinda concerned, even too much at times about what the media is saying or what the media is writing.
PF: Well he attacked me Saturday night and I go the game right. I mean, you can't win with this guy can you?
TH: I thought he was just having a little fun with it.
PF: Well you were there and I wasn't. I'm sure he was and I like Spurrier very much and that is well documented but I have found his feud with Larry Guess in Orlando... they were mortal enemies, and who is it, Ron Morris in Columbia to be beneath him but he has continued to rage these wars as best I can tell.
TH: Well Paul, I'm not one of his favorites either. I can tell you that as well. If I was in his postion, maybe I would feel the same way as well ,but you know how it is these day is age. Everybody wants to control the media. it's not like when we first go into the busines that you have
( junk junk yada yada.) Steve Spurrier gets a list of interview requests and he has to approve every interview request and I would think Steve Spurrier would more to worry about but he's one of the most successful coaches in college football, so he's not about to change now.
PF:Thanks Teddy, really glad to have you. Teddy Heffner covers the Gamecocks for 40 years calling Steve Spurrier a control freak and I would agree with him on this.
Teddy Heffner used to work for The State Newspaper and covered the Gamecocks. The State Newspaper was the place Ron Morris used to be relevant at.
Spurrier getting Heffner fired, Finebaum fired, e'rybody fired.

but to state that he's a better coach than Coach Bryant
I agree but I did not state that. not even close. re read it. I said AT THAT AGE. the bear was worn out the last coupla years he coached and his heart was not in it. spurrier is still ticking. sometimes you damn bama fans take umbrage at the mere mention of bear Bryant if it is not kissing his arse. I DID NOT say anything bad about him yet you either can't read or just make shite up to start something.
and if you actually followed spurrier since he was a player you wouldn't have dissed him the way you did.

Teddy Heffner
Reads the State newspaper to his few listeners every morning ... and calls that a radio show.
Was fired by The State for being a shitty beat writer.
Worked for what's his name Kornbloot for a year or so. Was fired for repeated bad info.
Now works for Clear Channel AM station who lost their contract with SC Sports ten years ago .... nobody listens to them anymore
Heffner lives totally off of his brother's advertising handouts and his wife.
Heffner, one of the gingerest gingers you could ever meet, has been wearing the same rug (hair piece) for forty years. It once blew off in front of everyone at a game and it was discovered that he is the ugliest bald headed ginger you've ever seem. Head like a ginger Klingon.
And he lies all the time but calls it the truth.
His station is now mostly taterhead callers, he works the wakeup shift, might have 500 listeners max.
Total pos a-hole.
Why am I not surprised that Finebaum had him on.
BTW, Spurrier doesn't like Heffner because Heffner is not a likable person. No one likes him except a handful of people who have been around him for 20-30 years.

Now if Spurrier coaches another 10 years, gets another 80 wins, AND picks up a couple more national championships, THEN we can talk about the two in the same breath.

Just you. There is a local reporter that irks him so badly Spurrier's literally tried to run the guy out of town.

It will be a sad day indeed when Spurrier decides to hang it up. Although I'm sure he would end up as an analyst of some sort on the Network, right? So he would still be throwing off some quotes probably in some segment designed for him by the SEC Network.

Same columnist (Ron Morris) who has been stalking him since his Duke days.
Ron Morris is equally despised by the fans. Morris also stalked Holtz relentlessly.
Morris wrote some big lies about Spurrier ... Spurrier was right to go after Morris.
