And Kirby has won TWICE as many NCs as the HBC. So is 2>1?
Not that matters bc frick hypotheticals but Spurrier would probably have at least one more if the playoff was around. We were on the cusp looking in a lot during his time here.

Look. I'm a disinterested 3rd party in the UGA/UF feud...
But, one thing I don't understand is the entitlement mentality of Gay-Tard nation.
Let's look at facts. Prior to 1990 when Spurrier first showed up to coach in Gainesville, UF had a losing record. From 1935 to 1951 they didn't have a winning season. They had a few good seasons under Pell and Hall, but, as we all know, Pell got fired. He only had 107 NCAA violations to contend with.
Spurrier shows up in '90 and they take off. Spurrier is there for 12 years, wins a Natty, and takes off after 2001.
Next comes Zook and the subsequent FireRonZook.com website. In other words, more losing.
Next comes Myer. He stays 6 years and wins a couple of Natty's. Okay, cool. But he left the program in shambles.
From that point on, the revolving door starts. Muschamp. McElwain, Mullen, and finally Napier.
Bottom line is this. The Florida entitlement mentality is more of a mental disorder than realistic and reasonable expectation. They've been playing football in Gainesville for over a hundred years and they have only 17 years of actual, consistent success.
Yes, 3 National Championships, but consistent, year after year success? They're the Beverly Hillbillies of Florida. They found the oil well, but unfortunately they haven't reinvested in infrastructure or found a CEO who could convert all that wealth to wins.

If Spurrier was the be all and end all, why the frick was he even at South Carolina?
I'll tell you - Florida did not want him back.
I mean, if Florida didn't want Spurrier to be their coach, he's shite compared to Kirby.

You say this, but Richt beat Spurrier 52-20 right before Spurrier quit the sport in shame.
So - no. At the end of it all - Georgia owned Spurrier. As it should be.

I don't know if that's really the case...
We hired him in 2005. During that time, Myer was in the midst of his tenure. IE: You ain't gonna get rid of yo best ho when she makin' you some money.
But, the thing is, Spurrier was a good coach, but he only won one National Championship in that 12 year span. However, during part of that time, Tennessee was peaking and Alabama was in a post-Bryant renaissance with Stallings. Georgia was struggling through the Goff/Donan years.
Here's something people may not realize, either. Spurrier wasn't the most popular guy outside of Gainesville. This is evidenced by the fact that Tom Osborne's Nebraska Cornhuskers beat the brakes off of them in the 96 Fiesta Bowl 62-24. It was widely speculated that Osborne wanted to teach Spurrier a little about sportsmanship and running up the score on a beaten opponent.

Used to be you could lose 1 game, max.
So yeah, it's easier.
11/12 = 92% of games must be won
13/15 = 87% of games must be won
What a disingenuous argument. How many national title winners have gone 13-2 lately?
It's much harder to win one in the playoff era.

I believe one went 12-2 but go off king.

Spurrier is not 11-1 vs. UGA. That's your problem.

1 time in 15 years! Totally the norm. Absolute clownn-tier argument. Embarrassing
Just take the L and move on. You're a FLorida fan, you should be used to it.

2007 is pretty weak proof of a modern “break”.

You might want to double check your numbers.
SOS was one of the best ever and while he owned UGA while in Gainesville, he spent a little time in Columbia where he didn't do as well against the Dawgs.
yeah thats not the flex you think it is. what was SC's winning % vs UGA before Steve... This is why he is better with Kirby. He won with lesser programs. Kirby won with an every year 10 win program

This is still a dumb point to make....
He took a non winner in UF and won big.. He took a non winner in Duke and won...he took a non winner in SC and won.
His record overall vs UGA speaks for itself. Could Kirby have done the things Steve did at the programs he went to? I highly highly doubt it
