True but (and I'll get a lot of flack for this) at UF much of the success was due to UF simply outrunning everyone else. This had a lot to do with the NFL stint not working out...you're not outrunning anyone. At SCar he's doesn't have all those athletes so success has been the more traditional running and good D. Is that a fair point?

Spurrier has done a very good job at South Carolina, yet it still baffles me he hasn't been able to field a great quarterback. Phil Petty is still the best QB they have had in the last 20 years.

Spurrier has used one player to gain success. USCe is a joke without Marcus Lattimore. Look at USC record in years without Latt. How many times has he won the East? What about the SEC? His worst mistake was going to the Redskins. He could have been one of the best ever down at UF.
