ESPN Article

A representative of South Carolina has contacted Steve Spurrier, and none other than coach Lou Holtz himself thinks it'd be a great thing if Spurrier were the one to replace him if Holtz retires as football coach.

The State of Columbia, S.C., citing anonymous sources, reported the story in Wednesday's editions of the newspaper.

Spotlight On Spurrier

The State (newspaper) of Columbia, S.C. asked what it called "three burning questions" to Steve Spurrier about his name being suggested as the next football coach at South Carolina.

Has he purchased a house on Lake Murray (in South Carolina)?

Spurrier said "no," that he didn't know where Lake Murray was until he was told.

Has he been promised a membership at Augusta National should he become the next South Carolina coach?

Spurrier said he knew of Augusta president Hootie Johnson, but didn't know Johnson is a South Carolinian.

Would he be interested in coaching at South Carolina should Lou Holtz retire?

Maybe. He said South Carolina already has a coach. When they don't, he said maybe he would talk about his next move.

When contacted by The State on Tuesday, Spurrier, the former Florida coach who last week withdrew from consideration to return to the Gators, did not deny having interest in Holtz's job if it came open.
