AU4Ever 0 Posted November 18, 2004 Share Posted November 18, 2004 Just heard on the Mike & Mike Show on ESPN News that Spurrier has 'agreed in principal' to coach at South Carolina. I looked on the ESPN website, and they have nothing official. M&M said they would keep everyone informed when they had more to report. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SCWarEagle 4 Posted November 18, 2004 Share Posted November 18, 2004 I heard from a friend (who gives a LOT) of money to Gamecock athletics that Spurrier has already signed the deal. Look for this story to break out right after this weekend's So. Carolina/Clemson game. And for all of the doubters, yes, I understand that the membership at Augusta NAtional was thrown in as well. As always this could fall through, but it looks like I'm going to have to breathe the same air as Spurrier. Yuck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TigerMom 0 Posted November 18, 2004 Share Posted November 18, 2004 I teach at the largest high school in South Carolina and the Buzz this week is that Spurrier WILL be at USC next year. Some folks "in the know" say it is a done deal and Holtz will announce his retirement next week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aufan59 60 Posted November 18, 2004 Share Posted November 18, 2004 And we play USC next year, and the year after. =) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
irnimrod 0 Posted November 18, 2004 Share Posted November 18, 2004 It is true. Holtz will retire after the bowl game. He will announce after the Clemson game. It is amazing what a membership to Augsta National and a chance to beat the crap out of the AD who spurned you will do. Foley at UF was going ot make CSP interview for the job thesame as other candidates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't think by any stretch he could do that now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vatz22au 142 Posted November 18, 2004 Share Posted November 18, 2004 http://sports.espn.go.com/ncf/news/story?id=1925598 The only catch? If Lou Holtz actually decides to leave...if he does, spurrier is in. Dont we play them next year? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TigerinBham 1 Posted November 18, 2004 Share Posted November 18, 2004 I wonder just how well that will go over in the Gator Nation. Is he a Traitor now? I mean you turn down your Alma Mater for a division rival. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
subterranean_jack 112 Posted November 18, 2004 Share Posted November 18, 2004 Uh, I don't think this is a done deal yet. A lot can happen between getting a verbal agreement and a contract being signed. Maybe Spurrier is just trying to get the Gators to up the ante. Lou Holtz hasn't even announced his retirement yet.

The son of one of my buddies from work is best friends with 2 players from USC. The twins called this morning @ about 9:30 and told my buddies son that Lou just told them during a team meeting. Lou was out and SOS is in. Done deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SouthLink02 8 Posted November 18, 2004 Share Posted November 18, 2004 Wow! I can only imagine how nervous SLink is right about now... 123492[/snapback] Honestly, I am not anymore nervous about next year with Spurrier. Last 6 years saw him win 1 SEC Title because of a lack of any good DC. If he hires another patsy and with the team not being 1/2th what UF was during his last few years (I dont buy into the theory he left the cupboard bare crap)......I doubt he has nearly the success people think. South Carolina is far from Florida and I think he will soon realize that. There are no passing QB's on that team right now so I think he is going to do his best with a freshman next year if not a transitional QB from Holtz era. Add in that the speed and coaching has vastly improved, IMO, and I think Spurrier has success but not nearly at the rate he had at UF. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
