Spurrier is done. Guy needs to retire

Spurrier doesn’t see it the same way.

“I have no plans on quitting,” Spurrier said.

“One of the big reasons is I brought in a defensive coach, Jon Hoke. He’s going to add to Lorenzo Ward and we believe we’re going to be a lot better on defense. We’re going to be better on defense; that’s one prediction I will make. If we can do like Arkansas did last year - they were a top defense in one year with that new guy - we’ll be in good shape.”

Spurrier points out that a couple of presidential candidates are in the same age group he is. Hilary Clinton is 67 years old while Donald Trump is 69.

The 70-year old football coach noted that Duke basketball coach Mike Krzyzewski, who is 68 years old, just won a national championship in his sport.

“If you have the ability to think and move around and do what’s necessary, you’re not too old,” Spurrier said. “Maybe they think I’ve been around long enough and fortunate enough to win so much, but I have a wonderful situation at South Carolina working for the best people, President Pastides and Coach Tanner.”
