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?

I agree, South Carolina doesn't match Florida when it come to the pool of football talent, but not many states do. You would just think with him being Steve Spurrier, he could dip into a surrounding state and steal an elite QB or even coach an average one up. Just look at past schools with a mediocre football past. NC State managed to land Phillip Rivers and Russell Wilson, Kentucky had Andre Woodson. A great QB is really all South Carolina has been missing since Spurrier got there. I am beginning to think at Florida Spurrier was just great at stacking talent and calling plays and not so much the QB guru people believe him to be.
