South Carolina coach Steve Spurrier informed his coaches and players Monday that he is retiring immediately, according to ESPN:

Spurrier, the Gamecocks' all-time winningest coach, also informed South Carolina athletic director Ray Tanner of his decision to step down, sources said. This came after the Gamecocks lost their fourth straight SEC game Saturday to LSU.

Spurrier, 70, was close to stepping down at the end of last season after the Gamecocks dipped to 7-6 on the heels of three straight 11-win seasons, but he elected to return. The Gamecocks have lost eight of their past nine SEC games dating to last season.
The Gamecocks have a 2-4 overall record this season and are 0-4 in the SEC.

College football is losing an icon. Hopes for a long and happy retirement, Coach Spurrier. Now you can lose all the crimson and black clothes and put back on the orange and blue, once a Gator, always a Gator.

You could see it in his eyes at the presser after the LSU game. His heart's not in it. He didn't want to be there anymore.

Is he sick? It seems unusual that he would just quit out of the blue.

Sorry to see the SEC lose SOS. However, I am very surprised he is leaving in the middle of the season.
