Holtz to Retire, Clearing Way for Spurrier
Spurrier is the living embodiment of the kind of people that shouldn't be coaching football! He's so obsessed with winning that he will destroy any number of players in the process. While this kind of attitude is great in Florida, I don't think the rest of the country shares that cutthroat, throw away the kids attitude that he's used to. He doesn't have what it takes to coach in the NFL because let's face it those guys get paid and therefore have to think about their futures. So when he tells them to go throw away their lives they just have to laugh at him. South Carolina would be much better off if it found the worst coach in college football and gave him the job than to let a cancerous monster like Spurrier into their program.

Could this be fear because South Carolina is suddenly going to start winning the SEC? ;)
I was surprised that he took the job there, especially since he'll be coaching against his former team and alma mater. For the record, I think he's a jerk as well. ;)

I have to weigh-in on this one. While in the past I would have agreed, whole heartedly that Spurrier (or "Coach Superior" as we liked to call him) embodied everything that was wrong about college football, I think there are at least a few indications that being such a looser in the NFL has humbled the man. What do you think? When first asked about the Florida coaching position right after they fired Zook, he responded to a reporter, "I don't think it's appropriate for me to comment about that right now. It's not something we need to discuss." Then, a few weeks later (WAY before anyone was REALLY talking about the USC job) when he was asked if he would consider coaching there, his reply was (something to the effect of, not a direct quote), "Last time I checked, that job wasn't open."
