Link to Spurrier hiring video?

I don't have it and sorry to hijack your thread, but I would like to know everyone's opinions on who is replacing SOS.

He say's he'll be there for Mitch through '17, which is great, and I am by no means tired of SOS in the slightest, he is the most entertaining coach in CFB. I just want to know what everyone's shortlist is.

I think Spurrier has three seasons left in him following this one. Less if he gets hardware. Man, I'd love to send him out on top.

Charlie Strong has to get a look, I would imagine. UF might get there first, though.

Anyone have it? I tried searching google and youtube, but didn't find it.

Anything in particular you wondering about?

I was standing right beside Holtz in the Letterman's Lounge, at the podium, when he gave his departing speech. And I was sitting right in front of Spurrier, I was sitting beside Ansley Earhardt, when Spurrier stood at a different podium in The Zone and said, "why not us?"

Charlie would love to come back into the SEC one day, I know that for a fact. But ... I dunno. I just don't know.

I think we'll know more about Charlie as a head coach after he's had three more years, all of them playing in the ACC.

I have a guy making a tribute video for me. I need that clip. I've seen it several times before, but I can't seem to simply google. it or search it on youtube.

I may ... may, mind you, have it somewhere on one of my old computers. I'll look for it. I know I still have the audio of Holtz's farewell rant, and I may have the audio of Spurrier as well, on the same disc, but I'm not sure where I put the video of Spurrier. I will check though. I've just got to walk into that room and boot those PCs up and see if they are still there or not.

I remember it like yesterday though ... he was wearing a black suit and a garnet and black tie with white speckled in there and his hair didn't have a drop of grey in it at the time. He reached out, shook my hand, asked Kerry Tharpe who I was and ... well, Ansley pinched my arm and said, "you lucky dog you," and gave me one of those big smiles of hers then petted the seat beside here and asked me to sit down with her.

Then, once his podium time was done we moved over to a table on the west end of The Zone, one of those folding tables, and Kerry grabbed me and sat me down at the end of the table and said, "don't let anyone else get behind this table, OK?" And I said, sure ... next thing I know Spurrier was sitting beside me answering questions from the media.

The rest of the day was very eventful. At one point Spurrier asks me, "you know anything about the recruiting around here?" I said, "yes I do." He asked, "who is the top recruit in this class?" I said, "well, there is this DB out of Florida who was committed to us but I think he just flopped to your Gators." He said, "I don't care about him. Who is the one already committed that is coming ...?" At that time I assumed he needed to be brought up to date on the class he was inheriting. I said, "this kicker out of NC named Ryan Succop, I think he is going to be your best recruit in this class Coach." He said, "a kicker, really? That'll be a first for me ..."

The rest of the story is boring.

I'll look for that video.

He turned out to be a hell of a player though.
