Tell me what you mean when you say "you know". He made some stupid coaching calls against Arky but nutter butter is horrible. He went for it and didn't make it against UGA and was VERY lucky that Trip Chandler dropped a 3rd down pass. He made calls on both sides of the ball that I found puzzling. The team where he made his reputation is winning more now than when he was there. LSU will probably win the national title. So why is he such a good coach? He has exactly 2 ten or more win seasons, 2001 at LSU then 13 wins in 2003. He had two 8 and two 9 win seasons there as well. His bowl record is 4-4.
yeah, because SC is such a traditionally rich, winning program. 2 of those 15 wins came against FL and TN....in the same season. a feat that no one has ever accomplished at SC.I laugh at all the "other coach is great" people. In addition to the Saban facts, you can look at:
Richt: It's been over a year since he won an SECE game.
Spurrier: 15-10 last two seasons at USC
:clap:Agreed, if we are at a point were we base our program on what SC has done with or without Spurrier we are lower than I thought...
:thumbsup: though the same would apply to comparing USC to UTK...it's just different, in expectations, history, basically everything. USC is an up and comer. UTK, UAT, FL, LSU, Auburn, GA etc...are the "blue bloods" of the SEC.I'm pretty sure that wasn't the point either. At least I hope not. Since comparing our program and USC was never brought up. I think Jake was eluding to comparing UAT and USC.

in other words, SC fans will still be satisfied with an 8 or 9 win season this year or any year.
the same can't be said of UTK or UAT (in most years anyway).
With Spurrier running things, they are. He's done nothing but good for SC in his time there.
