why would spurrier leave sc he just beat Clemson and he already said that he would be there for a long time sorry to burst yor bubble but he;s ours lol
For the second time in little more than a week, Steve Spurrier has said he intends to remains as the head football coach at South Carolina.
Rampant speculation swirled since USC's thrilling 31-28 victory over Clemson Saturday that Alabama was prepared to hire Spurrier as its new head football coach to replace Mike Shula.
Shula was fired Monday despite winning 10 games in 2005 and directing the program through a punishing probationary period that severely limited recruiting and scholarships.
The talk in Tuscaloosa went so far to say that Spurrier had reached agreement with Alabama and was assembling a coaching staff.
It all turned out to be false.
sorry bama fans u won't be getting him lol

'Bama Tradition lies six feet under in a box with the old A&M coach...they went for a while there by cheating and by the grace of the bear, but they are in shambles now. The firing of Shula shows that they are an arrogant program that has no patience and expects to be there just because they are the "Tide". Well, it's gonna take some Tide to wash away that pride and start humble again. Why would Spurrier want any part of that? That would be about the same as going back to work for Daniel Snyder again up in DC. Hold on 'bama fans, there's a whole lot of "ordinary" in your future! They should have held on to Shula a couple more years.

Absolutely. Can you imagine what he could do at Bama? South Carolina is a nice place and they have nice fans, but Bama has tradition and everything in place to win championships. They just need a coach like Spurrier to do it. He can stay at Carolina for years and be a good coach, maybe slip into the SEC Championship game every few years, or he could come to Alabama and go very often, like was the case in the 90s when it was always Alabama vs. Florida.

Rumor is that he is going to Bama for about $4-$5 million/year.
With the tradition and facilities that Alabama has....this might be the catalyst for their next domination of NCAA football.
People don't notice Alabama as a football super-power....which they can easily be again. They have the most National Championships in the country (tied with ND) and some of the nicest facilities to boot. And the money is there...

Spurrier at Bama..... Wow!
Look at it – a coach like Spurrier - tell me one good reason why he would not want to finish his exceptional career at Alabama winning SEC titles and competing for national championships versus trying to squeeze an ounce of passion out of South Carolina football? – Please… I have no doubt that he can have success at SC and play for the SEC East, but no one can deny the potential for success is far, far greater on the Capstone.
There’s just something about the thought of the ‘Ole Ball Coach’ leaning against the goal post in a sheen new Bama visor. The Crimson Nation would electrify!
Come on down coach. We have a place already picked out for your statue.
As sure as the moon above…… the Tide will rise again!

Wow...now that's a scary thought. Alabama is a "Sleeping Giant." Spurrier would return that program to national prominence in no time at all.

I would not. I think that he is arrogant and I really don't think that he has the ability as a coach to get the most out of his players. He only really has one system that he knows and it takes a lot of talent to pull it off. Maybe with his strong ties in Florida he could recruit some blue chippers from that hotbed, but I doubt it. Alabama football is all about tradition. I would hire Larry Coker first. The only reason he failed at Miami is that the coach has no control over the players because even the AD and university president would not properly discipline the thugs that Coker was supposed to win with.

Its a done deal. Fear the Visor Awbern! Spurrier will anounce he is headed to Bama. The deal is 10 years $30 million.
It automatically makes Bama a top 10 ten team next year. It gives us a leg up in recruiting and put Bama back on the map.
