Funny how thats the only part people hang on to. The very next question in that interview was who was the best coach in the SEC and Spurrier answered Saban so I don't think he was taking a shot at Saban as much as people think he was.
I never discounted the next question in the interview. I'm addressing the question as an individual entity, not as a preface to the following question, which it wasn't.
Don't be so defensive. The guy is a great coach and an above-average wit, he just said something mildly retarded is all.

But the whole reason why it made news was because people were billing it as some Spurrier dig at Saban when it was just his opinion on certain challenges that coaches face.
And indeed Bama was going through a rough time before Saban. If I remember correctly Bama was turned down by several HC candidates and even in Saban's 1st year Bama was 6-7. But Spurrier's point was with all its history and resources Bama puts into having a successful football program that all you need is a decent coach, go through the steps of recruiting, and you'll be able to have X amount of decent success. Something that cannot be said for an SC or a Duke.
