re: The Legacy of Steve Spurrier

quote:

---

Spurrier only won 1 national championship to go with that boatload of SEC titles.

Saban has 3 championships with two schools, and possibly four.

I like Spurrier but I think it depends on how you measure greatness.

Marino or Elway?

For example.

Spurrier was a revolutionary and charismatic figure and absolutely dominated the SEC while at Florida.

I would use a different example.

Saban = Vince Lombardi. Has won a ton of championships and completely dominated in a short period of time but doesn't have much longevity.

Spurrier = Don Shula. Has only one or two championships but has a ton of conference championships, a lot more wins, and far better longevity.
