Spurrier. He transformed offense and turned a program that wasn’t much better than Kentucky into a national power. He also made South Carolina respectable for a pretty long while

2 things.

He had a good mix of recruiters and coaches on staff. He really wouldn’t do much recruiting except closing the deal on an elite player when it was time. So while Spurrier wasn’t a great recruiter he put together a staff of them. He was really underrated as far as having an eye for assistant coaches.

UF sold its self back then. Players just flocked to the school. Offensive guys knew that they would put up huge numbers. Defensive guys knew they were going up against the best offense in the country during practice and were ready for any offense out there. TBH Spurriers defensive players always had better NFL careers.

Spurrier is at least twice as funny.
