When Spurrier went to the Redskins, he was asked if he thought it would be tougher than coaching college ball. He said "yes, because they're no Vanderbilts in the NFL".

I dislike Steve Spurrier in the way a rivalry creates. If he coached the University of Tennessee, I would be giggling like a little schoolgirl. He's hilarious, has plenty of class, and happens to make funny jokes.

Stevie boy is in his perfect job. The second half of South Carolina's mascot name suits him to a T......

Steve Spurrier, Florida football coach, telling Gator fans that a fire at Auburn's football dorm had destroyed 20 books: "But the real tragedy was that 15 hadn't been colored yet." (1991)

It was a pretty tough poke at us, but I actually think "You can't spell Citrus with UT" was one of the most original sports lines since "You know, 90% of the game is half mental" - btw, was the latter a Yogi Berra line?

Say what you want to say about Spurrier,I hated losing to him as much as any Vol fan,but I'm glad he's back.It just wasn't the same without ole Steve in the SEC.Great coach.

Agreed, beating a good coach is much more fullfilling than beating say,Shula

Spurrier's cracks are always comical IMO. I agree with some of the others' posts, it is great to have him back in the SEC.

After reading and listening to countless media conferences with Fulmer, I welcome a little humor and unpredictability.

Personally I think hes funny. Flame away if you want, but if he had the talent that UT had last year he would have won a NC.

We had more hate for him at Fla. but with him at SC it does not seem as exiting to me.

He's annoying when he is around but you miss him when he's gone.
