re: Steve Spurrier's reason for retiring. [NOW CONFIRMED]

That's a cop out. No other possible head coaches on the staff. He just doesn't want an extra 4-5 losses on his resume. He can't stand sucking, and is leaving others to deal with his mess immediately rather than taking responsibility for his creation.

Well I think it's a little foolish to make such a drastic assumption about something you know nothing about. But that's just me. Anyways, what good would it do to stay? If he doesn't feel like he's furthering the team at all, what's the point in sticking around for fun and goofing off when the program could be searching for a replacement now?

If he admits that he's leaving because he thinks he's lost it, then that right there is taking responsibility. There's no need to stick around to confirm what's already be confirmed. It won't prove anything more about this season failing, he'll only waste everybody's time sticking around just to look good on his way out.
