It's funny to me that people think SC should content to watch its program crumble to mediocrity out of gratefulness to the coach that gave them 3 good years.

USC does not "owe" Spurrier anything. They have paid him tens of millions over the last decade and stayed patient with him while he was trying to build the program the first 5 years. If Spurrier is actually telling recruits he will only be there another couple years, he needs to retire now. If he is already so sapped of enthusiasm for the job that he wants to quit in 2 years, quit now. He does not need the money. Why drag it out two more years and implode the program?

Call me crazy but I'm convinced his ego is so big that he wants USC to fail after he retires. He publicly enjoyed watching Florida struggle without him and he will do the same with USC. He can't handle the possibility of someone being better than him at "his" program. That's why he went to USC in the first place....to be the only winner a school has ever had.

USC is now a top 25 job with great facilities and recruiting base. If Spurrier is mentally checked out of this job, fire his arse and hire one of the dozens of quality coaches who would beg for the job.
