SC was a losing proposition for any coach and I never understood why he went
We may be the same age. I watched those games during the 90s as well. While I give Spurrier credit for making the conference better, his hire would be the ultimate fail IMO.

I don't want him at UT either but to pretend CPF is a better coach is ridiculous

You have never been to the campus, well its like flying in to the Salt Lake City Airport, Nothing<Nada, Zilch just like South Bend, and Ann Arbor, there is nothing there , Would you go there, I wouldn't Athens is 10 times better, even Starkville is better, when these kids can go to USC,LSU,FLA, Miami, Fla State, BAMA, UT,GA TEXAS, Even A&M is better, but all of those other schools have pretty girls and are party schools.

Spurrier would be an improvement for the short term, but I do think we would need to get a new coach after a few years, simply because Spurrier is getting old.

If Fulmer had been at USC over the last few years, he would have killed to have Spurrier's record.

Ok... I see the problem. No, I don't think one is better than the other. My point is why downgrade in results.

that's great and all that we are a bit ahead of SC in the SEC. Unfortunately SC is not a team winning championships that we should be compared to. Can you imagine what your response would be if 10yrs ago you were told we would be competing against SC for ranking in the conf?

Uh... maybe but that is not the point of this thread.

This thread is about one coach with a national in the mid 90s replacing another coach with one national title in the late 90s.

You can start a thread about CPF going to usc if you want and I might join in the discussion.

What I'm saying is your point of Spurrier being a downgrade because of his late record at a bad program is not a good one.

Hate to break it to you but your program is irrelevant.
