Spurrier may not last the rest of the season if he doesn't

Spurrier's slack work ethic found him out in the NFL, and it has caught up to him in the SEC. I think at this point he's trying to get fired. I heard a portion of his call-in show last week and he responded to a question about how long he expected to coach. He said his contract was for 3 more years and South Carolina paid him a nice salary. That struck me as sounding like Marie Antoinette saying of the Paris mobs breaking into bakeries, "Let them eat cake!" The folks on the SC message boards are ready to march on Versailles.
It sure will be interesting if Spurrier and the South Carolina AD have a deal already in place for Spurrier Jr. to succeed SOS once he steps down. I wonder how their fan base would accept that?
Agree, Agree. Spurrie is laughing his way to the bank. His post-game pressers are a complete joke and you can tell he doeesn't care.
The most embarrassing incident was last year when he appeared to be intoxicated during the taping of his coach's show.
Spurrier won't be fired...that said, he's realizing that its SC. You can win their some, but setting up a program is going to be awfully difficult. Recruiting is pretty weak in state some years in terms of depth...and while the campus isn't bad, the football facilities are in an old industrial area that still reeks of hood.
They've actually changed and improved the area quite a lot in the last few years .... Doesn't sound like you've been there in a while
While they've added condos and other nice things that surround The State newspaper...they haven't changed what surrounds it, what has historically been there...which is hood. Always has been, always will be. You can put a nice building outside of Nellie B and the Iron Triangle in Athens, but its still not going to be somewhere a lot of people want to be.
Not really talking about the condos. I was there a few weeks ago and it's improved vastly all around the place... Massive amounts of trees have been planted and upgrades everywhere, all around ... They do have some condos, yeah, I did see those, but that seems minimal
Seems like they could work on pedestrian walkways a bit. Very nice view of the city from inside the stadium too. Quite unique
Until they change what surrounds it, and not sure they can, it won't change in terms of area. I used to work in that area and cosmetically it has improved greatly, but you can put makeup on a pig. I'm not blaming USC in this, its simply not a great area...which is kind of typical of historically industrial areas. Its heavy rail, heavy truck, and used to have a ton of industrial there until they started closing shop in the 80's. As such, its surround like many places, with not somewhere you want college kids to be. That said, I love that damn chicken place...forget the name though.
You haven't been there in a while and can't listen to somebody that has ....based on your other posts, I'm not surprised
Seeing how i was just there...you do realize how much low income housing is within .75 miles of the stadium? It's still there, drove through it.
They are. Very large sidewalks will be installed when they redo Bluff Road. The University is acquiring everything around th stadium. They've done a terrific job and they've got some equally terrific plans in the works between the heart of campus and the stadium. In a few more years, it really will be an amazing transformation. Already has to a certain extent. The school has grown dramatically in the last 10 years. It's about as large as UGA.
Meanwhile, this is SOS's last year. He's turned the job into an estate planning tool for his kids, 2 of which are on staff and aren't worth chit. He's lost the fans. We look and play nothing like his UF and prior SC teams.
Let's face it Spurrier is (was) a good coach when he has alot of talent that he doesn't have to work hard to get. See Florida. His best years at USC coincided with a historic abundance of in-state future NFL talent (Lattimore, Jeffery, Clowney, Gilmore, Swearinger, Cann, etc, etc) that Spurrier again basically had fall in his lap.
Now he is just old, tired, lazy, complacent, nepotistic.....and worst of all apathetic. And that attitude has definitely infected the team. Talent is down for sure, but lack of fire is far worse.
The only school that spends less money in the SEC on recruiting is Vandy. Not a formula for success in the SEC.

Talent falls in Richts lap and he can't even win the weak east. If Spurrier had our talent, he would have a Natty.
