Steve Spurrier Won't Be Coaching Florida

CraigSca · 11-04-2004, 11:05 AM

I thought the best quote in the ESPN article was this: "When I departed three years ago, there were several reasons why I believed it was time to move on," Spurrier said in a statement released by the school. "Other than simply wanting to coach in the NFL someday, I also believed that 12 years at Florida was probably long enough. Many people in football believe that around 10-12 years in the same job is about the maximum time a coach should stay."

Do you think Penn State fans could make Joe Paterno aware of this?

rkmsuf · 11-04-2004, 11:06 AM

who believes that 10-12 years is the number? he just made that up.

WSUCougar · 11-04-2004, 11:10 AM

Let him have the FSU job if/when Bobby retires.

Couldn't be any worst then Bobby and Jeff Bowden. In fact if he gets hired somewhere else I would pay for him to take both Bowdens.

Ksyrup · 11-04-2004, 01:35 PM

Here in town, that idea actually has some support (not that it would ever happen). Hey, the guy is a college offense genius. In fact, I think we'd get whiplash going from Jeff Bowden to him. We might need someone in between just to ensure we don't get the bends.

Ksyrup · 11-04-2004, 01:36 PM

I can't imagine this happening:

Stoops, who spent three seasons as Spurrier's defensive coordinator at Florida, has repeatedly denied any interest in the Gators job. But a university source speaking on the condition of anonymity said Stoops might reconsider with Spurrier out of the picture.

Bomber · 11-04-2004, 01:37 PM

I'd love to see him take the Florida job, imagine what he could do with Chris Leak, but the possibility for failure and the damage it would do to his rep isn't worth it.

rkmsuf · 11-04-2004, 01:38 PM

He should take the Florida job. He'd have a better team than the one he's going to inherit in the Dolphins.

GrantDawg · 11-04-2004, 02:40 PM

He will never return to a job where he has to recruit.

Ksyrup · 11-04-2004, 03:01 PM

Well, according to the description of what he did in Washington, he didn't coach, either. What's left for a football coach to do?

I mean if he's going to take another job.

I'm trying to understand this as well - Stoops has returned Oklahoma to annual NC contention, and while Oklahoma isn't the idea recruiting location, he seems to be doing alright stealing guys out of Texas.

I suppose the appeal of Florida for him would be a better recruiting base and nicer weather. Other than that, seems like a lateral move.

duckman · 11-04-2004, 05:44 PM

Stoops has already said publically at a news conference that he has no intentions of returning to Gainesville.

Poli · 11-04-2004, 05:54 PM

More like a few steps down...

1. Miami
2. Oklahoma
3. USC

4. LSU
5. UGA
6. Ohio State

7. Texas
8. Florida State (Bias I know)
9. Michigan

The Gators would be lucky to crack the top-25 of the elite programs out there in the country.

The problem at Florida is not the talent, but with the coaching staff. If you think that Florida is that big of a drop then you've been hitting the crack pipe before replying.

Haha your wrong. They have no talent at all... Next season they will not have depth on defense. They have recruit offense pretty well due to Chris Leak... so unless a coach wants to play in a shoot out every game Florida I repeat does not have depth.

Dr. Sak · 11-04-2004, 07:00 PM

On ESPN Radio, the Duke who does sportscenter for the Dan Patrick show said there was speculation that Spurrier was persuing the Penn State job.

Heh. They said almost the same thing when Stoops came to Oklahoma in 1998. Two years later, OU won the national title. Who would of thunk?

Has nothing to do with OU at all. Florida is not as good as some people think ask any Gator fan and they will say this year they really need to recruit top notch defensive players. Almost player they thought was good on defense is a bust...

I think only two JC players were impacts on that team (Heupel was one of them). The rest were players recruited by the previous coaching staff.

Torrance Marshall and Josh Heupel were the only two JUCOs I believe.

Tell me this how is it that their offense well developed but their defense not? Half coaching I guess... Florida State sucks at developing talent and has seen plenty bust run thru the program. Miami in my opinion is the best talent scouts in Florida and one of the best in the nation.

Best answer I can give you if bad defensive coaches, and recruiting the wrong players for the system. Busts happen. It's underdevelopment that can be corrected. You can't always make the player learn (Busts), and the players can't teach themselves(Underdevelopment).

I have a really bad feeling about this one. It would seem A&M decided not to practice for Baylor, instead focusing on the OU game.
