Fun article on Spurrier, and it is littered with Tennessee stuff too. Probably the most memorable SEC coach in my lifetime, even more so than Saban. Truly a character. http://espn.go.com/college-football...ootball-life-challenge-bear-bryant-sec-record
And the moment someone comes along having equal success as he did, he will fade except for Tide fans. Much like Fulmer will, if we get a coach that duplicates his run.
I remember when he retired after 2001. I was honestly deeply depressed by that. College Football needs characters like Spurrier.
I sometimes wonder how different UT's history would have been if we didn't botch Spurrier's recruitment.
I thought the story was we sent a coach up to Sprurrier's house that was shitfaced. The single wing didn't help though.
Supposedly, the assistant had been drinking and Spurrier's dad ran him off and the single wing made it an easy decision
Except, Nebraska. Imagine a Tennessee team in place of the UF team Nebraska hung 62 on. We'd have lost by a hundred.
I've watched for 5 minutes and have heard 2 dumbass comments. Some media guy mentioned Nebraska running the wishbone and Muschamp said that unlike traditional SEC offenses, Spurrier didn't run 2 back sets when he came to Florida.
