re: When, not if, will Steve Spurrier pass Bear Bryant in SEC wins?

Spurrier is a great coach and I would even say he's a HOF coach. If the SEC keeps expanding, he may well pass Coach Bryant's SEC win record due to being able to play more SEC teams a year. I figured he likes 32 wins to match Coach Bryant's.

As for win percentage, I don't know. But Spurrier will never beat or match Coach Bryant's record for SEC championships, national championships, coach of year awards.

Bryant
160-46-9 SEC record

14 SEC titles
6 National titles (*UK claims a NC under Bryant also)
1 SWC title
14 SEC CoY awards
3 National CoY awards

323-85-17 overall record


Spurrier
128-43 SEC record

6 SEC titles
1 ACC title
1 National title
2 ACC CoY awards
7 SEC CoY awards

219-79-2 Overall record

*More than a decade after Gamage had left UK, a young man by the name of Paul "Bear" Bryant arrived on the scene at Lexington in 1946. Bryant quickly grabbed the UK program by the collar and turned the Cats into a national power.

Bryant took UK to eight consecutive winning seasons (1946-53) and helped the Wildcats claim their first national championship and Southeastern Conference championship in 1950. LINK
