Spurrier was the most feared coach in modern Football history IMO

Quite the spin-
Yes, Kirby and UGA won by 20 points
the last time they played.
Also true:
Kirby and UGA lost by 27 and 20 points the other two times they played.

12- Spurrier, Florida (1994-1997)
How can that be when AU beat UF in both ‘94 in Auburn (Calvin Jackson 96 yd pick 6) and ‘95 in Gainesville (Nix to Sanders)

Those wins were in 1993 and 1994... this 12-game streak started after that '94 game.

I think that ranks 3rd all-time. Saban's Alabama streak of 15 previously mentioned ranks 2nd (2014-2017). And if I'm counting correctly, Bryant had a streak of 21 consecutive Big 6 wins from 1976-1982 at Bama.
Well I don't know if you can count any wins against Florida back then because we officially didn't become a member of the Big 6 until 1991, or unofficially in 1984. Any games played against UF before that are not big 6. It would have been only the Big 5 games that would count.

I don’t think spurrier was the most feared coach in his era much less the modern era. He’s probably one of the best play callers ever though.

I don't know. I remember Auburn having some pretty decent teams in the mid 1990s yet hoping we could just keep it close against Florida. Those 1995 and 1996 Gator teams absolutely whipped up on the SEC in a way that no team had ever done before up until that point.

Being feared and being the most feared aren’t the same. Nebraska was by a large margin the most dominant and probably most feared team of the nineties. As for the good auburn teams spurrier had a losing record against terry and Bobby. Hell I think Tommy even had head to head over ole ball coach. Think the canes had head 2 head on him in 90s as well.

With that said, Bryant had totally demoralized the Auburn, Tennessee, and LSU programs by the late 1970s and all were at very low points. Bama somehow missed Georgia every year except for '77. And Florida's program was still for the most part not good yet.
Of those 21 wins, only one came against an opponent that finished the season ranked ('79 Auburn).
Yeah, you guys were really dragging the conference down those years.

***Saban's 15-win streak was way more impressive IMO. Eleven of those 15 wins came against Big 6 SEC opponents that finished in the Top 25. That's crazy.
I don't disagree; I think we can all admit the SEC was just a lot stronger during Saban's tenure than Bryant's.

I don't think people were fearing a man who lost to DuBose twice in one season, including getting blown out.

True but if you were doing it based off that wouldn’t you have to adjust for teams that won or lost to the rambling wreck
