Seems it wouldn't have taken much to stop playing golf and go recruit one the nations best future running backs. What a major league whiff.

A damn shame he doesn't (and never did) have Saban's work ethic.

Drawing up plays to beat georgia for a 4th time in 5 years. You better hope he doesn't miss on anyone else

Chubb never "wanted to go" to USC, he was interested in the program and wanted to give them a chance before he decided. If Spurrier had been there then they might have stood a chance, but UGA basically led wire to wire. USC didn't lose Chubb because Spurrier wasn't there, but they did lose a chance to gain ground.

I think Mark Richt may have lost control of Spurrier.

AJC did an interview with him asking him about his recruitment after he'd already signed with UGA (I believe he might've just gotten on campus to start his freshmen year). Anyway, according to Chubb, Spurrier never showed up when he was there. Both times he was on campus something came up and that changed his mind. He also said Butch Jones was the hardest to turn down because he had such a good relationship with him and liked him so much.

Spurrier was trying to achieve a Chubb of his own. At his age that might be a feat in itself.

Not sure about Spurrier's recruiting tactics at USC, but I seem to remember that he was a little quirky about it at UF.

He basically quit recruiting Anquan Boldin to Florida because Bolden insisted on playing QB. Hell, he should've told him that he'd let him play QB like Bowden did just to get him to sign.

Did someone mention 4 / 5? A lot of which was done with GA talent? (Mike Davis, Conner Shaw, etc.)

Where was Richt?

One he was in Destin for the spring mettings. The other was on Spurrier's birthday

It sucks that Chubb didn't come to USC but I'm not sure I'd want a retard playing on the team

eta- he didn't even schedule an official so he was just applying a rivalry application with USC when he talked all this shite.

USC is all up in the heads of not only UGA fans, but UGA players as well
