Good grief, slow news day. If you have any breaking college football news, go ahead and get it out there now.

@ThayerEvansSI: South Carolina coach Steve Spurrier is retiring per source.

After the season or now?

@GCChrisClark: Per @WesMitchellGC and I, we have confirmed that Steve Spurrier plans to retire. No timeline immediately known. He informed team tonight.

More details to come.

I thought he was retiring last season.

He doesn't like to lose. And I think he knows a championship is never going to happen and seasons like this are more likely in the future than some of the 11-2 seasons he's had.

he should have retired 2 years ago---on top. Now, he's washed up and will lose a bunch more games this year. He'll head to the golf course and beach full time.

Good grief, today has been a soap opera. Wth?

Sad day for college football

Bittersweet, the last time UT will ever face the head ball coach this season.

So basically this says he won't coach until he dies.

Looks like Spurrier has left the program in worse shape for the next head coach than it was when he took over from Lou Holtz

I'm reading it to mean this year is it for him. I'm assuming he'll finish the season.

I hope he ends up in the booth..he'd be a riot

Ol boy has had a helluva run!!

 

[99gator]

Bout time.

Don't want him associated with the crap that's currently taking place under his watch. That's not who and what he was.

We should send him out with a good Beating like 38-3 or something lol

That, and maybe a standing ovation on his way off the field would be nice.

Wow, reading now that it's "immediate."
