    Man, why do you hate the guy so much?
    Because Steve Spurrier coaches for himself and no one else.

    I just read a USA Today article. It's official, he's a quitter.

    Never had a losing season, so how about a half season?

    I don't think they gave him a choice.

    SEC Football is a tough place to make a living. He was one of the best. He would Zing anyone anytime. "You can't spell Citrus without a U and a T." I hated that guy sometimes, especially during football season on days that ended in a Y.

    OK....I have had a few days to digest this and here is my take. First let me say that I aspire for the day when I can wake up and decide, I don't want to work anymore....That said, I might be 80 when that occurs. 

    Did he quite? Yes he did. I want try to put a positive spin on this, but believe there are a couple of drivers. First, he has said often that he would continue as long as we were winning. He thought we had a better team this year than we did. He takes responsibility for that. Secondly, while the Spur has a big ego, I don't think he is about taking a victory lap with the final games of the year. When he made up his mind, he immediately called it quits. One can argue on both sides if this was a good timing decision....I think he cares, but I also believe he wanted to remove himself from the equation quickly. Translate that to the team....you either give 100 percent, our get out of here.....which is what he did. JMTCW.
