re: Danny Sheridan on Paul Finebaum

SOS is rightly a coaching legend, and he could still coach a pretty good offense, no question. But it's been 20 years of change and evolution on both sides of the ball since the heyday of the Fun-n-Gun, and Spurrier no longer has the edge. I wouldn't say the game has passed him by, but the landscape has certainly changed. Spurrier's offense was innovative and exciting, and every team in the SEC (and the nation, if you don't count Nebraska) was forced to adapt. That was his influence on the game. But innovation has an inherently limited shelf-life, and Spurrier's innovations no longer have the advantage they had in the 1990s. He'd be a decent OC hire. But he wouldn't be a home run hire anymore, especially if he refused to parley his status as a coaching egend into good recruiting efforts.
