Wonder what our old friend Pepsicock is thinking tonight?

Glad we got to kick his ass 1 time while he was at USC. Never liked that guy.

He was, at the most, entertaining to watch on the sidelines. Had some decent teams at USC, but it's safe to say he never should've left Florida for the NFL.

I thought he was a very genuine, honest and entertaining coach. Wore his emotions on his sleeve- nothing safe, canned, or focus group tested out of him. Sounds a lot like Hayden Fry to me. I don't know why anyone wouldn't like him.

Brought Gamecock football program, with a history of mediocrity, its greatest success. Wins, bowl success, NFL players. Something most schools have but was always lacking at Carolina. He took a chance and did arguably his greatest coaching work in Columbia. I wish him health and many rounds of golf.

College coaches are dropping like flies.

Here I is . Well I thought he would wait at the end of the season but not in the middle . He gave us some great times. I liked the guy myself .

I hope he's stepping down on his own and not for some medical reason. Heck of a career enjoy your life HBC

Who would ever thought that USCw and USCe without a head football coach in mid season ?

 

[KryptonionHawk]

I've always like Spurrier. He is the reason I became a little bit of a SC fan. Best wishes to the Ol Ball Coach.

 

[Stavross]

He's my favorite hater.

I always liked the guy, too. He was old school, and much like Hayden Fry always good for some funny sound bites. He wasn't always PC, but you need some characters like him to make things interesting.
