It just disappoints the hell out of me that he knows full well he created the problems and instead of doing the right thing and staying around to at least give a REAL attempt at fixing it, he just walked away and left us with a smoking pile of embers bc the program had already burned to the ground. Just walked away and left it for someone else to deal with while he stayed for a good bit of time in the position of "ambassador" at Carolina.
He hung y'all out to dry. Don't get me wrong, Spurrier did some great things at USC and he's an amazing coach. But his last two or so years at USC I think he was "retired" already in his mind and just going through the motions.
A HC that half asses his job is a disaster, particularly in the SEC. Hell, we hired Bielema and he believed that taking it easy during the off season and early season was the best way to keep the team "fresh" late in the season. It will be years before Arkansas can climb out of the smoking crater our program is in thanks to that.
I'm sure Spurrier have a good time walking along the sidelines and throwing out a few zingers with his new job but I don't get the sense he's taking it seriously.

Spurrier quit doing half his job right after he got Lattimore and then Clowney the next year. Once he thought he had enough talent to win big, he quit putting in effort in recruiting, and pretty much left it to assistants.
He hated recruiting to start with, as we all know, but if he'd still been going to do the cha-cha with recruits moms and such when we were finishing in the top 10 every year as a drawing card, we'd be much closer to where Clemson is now than where we ended up.
He did a lot of great things for the school, but he didn't give us his full effort the last few years, and it showed on the field for years.
