He is not. People connected with the program say he is arrogant and a cancer in the locker room, and as the recruiting coordinator for many years, the lack of talent on this team is squarely laid at his feet. The HBC is a great person and one of the best coaches ever. The Gamecocks were lucky to get him, but it was time for Spurrier to go and Steve Jr. with him.
Even at UF, Spurrier wasn’t big on recruiting.
This could very well be the truth. He didn’t even show up for a meeting with Nick Chubb of Georgia and that is why Georgia got him. Prayers for that young man.
