Guess I forgot to tell Stinger some of the Tech history including Spurrier coaching at Tech then going to Duke.

Spurrier is always fun to watch.

Awesome shot at Saban too!....



Spurrier even had a shot for Alabama’s Nick Saban. Asked what he thought about the job the Crimson Tide’s coach has done in Tuscaloosa, Spurrier compared him to Kentucky basketball coach John Calipari.

“He’s got a nice little gig going, a little bit like Calipari,” Spurrier told Low. “He tells his guys, ‘Hey, three years from now you’re going to be a first-round pick and go.’ If he wants to be the greatest coach or one of the greatest coaches in college football, to me he has to go somewhere besides Alabama and win, because they’ve always won at Alabama.”

Well, some folks did struggle there. They did not win " enough ".

Saban has advantages but also has a pretty high threshold of success.

His coaching style and demeanor didn't fit the pro game at all

Yet another reason the nadlickers hate him...

Spurrier was a finalist along with Glanville and Curry. They were each interviewed in New Orleans and as it was conveyed to me,"Curry blew them away in the interview."
