He wouldn't be on the verge of winning three national championships in four years, that's for sure. He didn't come close to accomplishing that at Florida with a much weaker SEC to work with.
This + Saban's NC at LSU
4 titles
That is elite category.

Yeah…people really need to put what Spurrier did at Florida into context. Sure….he brought in a totally new offensive philosophy and he won 6 conference championships during his tenure there. However, the SEC of the 1990s was far weaker than what it is today. There was Florida, there was Tennessee, and to a lesser extent there was Alabama. That was it. Those three teams were the only teams to win conference championships that decade.
Auburn was crippled by sanctions, LSU was going through the worst period in its history, Arkansas was mediocre, the Mississippi schools were okay, Vanderbilt was terrible, South Carolina was terrible, Kentucky was terrible, and Georgia was mediocre.
