SouthLink02 8 Posted July 28, 2008 Share Posted July 28, 2008 He is struggling mightily at South Carolina Had that one great class 2-3 years ago but since then has really fallen flat for MANY of their top recruits I doubt he expected to struggle as much as he has when he came to South Carolina Probably thought by Year 4 that he would be able to recruit nationally much easier then he can right now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoopie 6 Posted July 28, 2008 Share Posted July 28, 2008 Clemson has the "tradishun" in SC sortof like Bammer in Alabama. Spurrier had a recruiting gold mine in Florida that is not available in SC. AU has to fight against some of those same type issues.....just confirms to me how good CTT is at knowing how to make it work at AU. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not to mention he had to try and pick up the pieces of a program that Lou Holtz left in shambles. I think he will have them up and running in another year or two.

The program was bad but it wasn't that bad Holtz left Spurrier with some talent and depth at most positions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BamaGrad03 0 Posted July 29, 2008 Share Posted July 29, 2008 It was no secret that he wasn't a big fan of recruiting even when at UF. I said when he took the SC job that he'd have a tough time because UF sells itself, and he wouldn't be willing to do the work to have SC be a destination for top grade athletes.

The Prowler 1 Posted July 29, 2008 Share Posted July 29, 2008 I remember him going into a recruit's house and kicking at their dog when he/she came up to sniff his leg. Yeah, that'll win over the parents....lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SouthLink02 8 Posted July 30, 2008 Share Posted July 30, 2008 No. Not even close to what AU was at when Tubs came Spurrier had to kick off several starters and clean house in several areas but the team was not completely depleted as some USC fans like to say Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
