Steve Spurrier Won Today’s SEC Media Days With A Series Of Gold Quotes — Updated With Video
You can always count on two coaches in the sports world to give A+ interviews: Gregg Popovich and Steve Spurrier. When either of them are in front of a mic, it’s must-see TV. No matter how you view the Gamecocks, you gotta love Spurrier.
Today, it was the Ol’ Ball Coach’s turn to step into the spotlight once again, this time at SEC Media Days. He did not disappoint and provided us with some top notch entertainment. He wasted no time in discussing how terrible his team was last season. He definitely wasn’t going to hold back at taking some shots at some of the other SEC schools.
Spurrier: “We were 7-6. Same as Tennessee, same as Arkansas. I think they’re sorta celebratin’ big seasons last year."

Knowing that he doesn’t have a clear-cut number one QB, he has no qualms about going with the two-QB system.
Spurrier on his QB situation: "I can win with two. There's nothing in the rulebook that says you have to only play one."

There was no hesitation at his thoughts on the Crimi-Noles down south regarding hitting females at bars.
Spurrier: "I've always had a rule at South Carolina, if you ever hit a girl you're finished. We've lost two."

At the ripe age of 70, it doesn’t look like he plans on retiring anytime soon.
Steve Spurrier: "People ask, 'Why are you still coaching?' I forgot to get fired and I'm not going to cheat."

"That retirement thing… I don’t think I’d be very good at that." -Steve Spurrier

He’s also hoping to start a new futures bet. I have a feeling he’s dabbled in the gambling realm before.
Spurrier: "I wish Danny Sheridan would do odds on how long every SEC coach would be at school next 4 years. It would be fun to bet on"

10 years ago at 11:16 amThe SEC is garbage and so is Spurrier.
10 years ago at 11:30 amFuck you.
10 years ago at 11:56 amYou really got me there, pal. The SEC is a garbage overrated conference for both sports and academics. It’s basically the cesspool of the USA. Now go back to your trailer.
10 years ago at 12:01 pmYeah because football players in other conferences got in because of their stellar grades… And why don’t you look at the NFL draft these past couple of years and tell me which conference is churning out the most NFL picks.
10 years ago at 12:08 pmIt’s the ACC.
10 years ago at 12:22 pmNice try champ, 9 consecutive drafts SEC was number one. And the conference that beat the SEC in picks back in 06 was the Big Ten.
10 years ago at 12:41 pmPics or it didn’t happen.
10 years ago at 10:27 amYou should probably kill yourself.
10 years ago at 12:01 pmThis account has always been terrible and not very funny. Take your own own advice.
10 years ago at 12:01 pmYou’re almost as bad a RadFem.

10 years ago at 6:10 pmGod dammit. This shit sipper is back?
10 years ago at 9:14 pmMotion to blackball?
Steve is right about the hitting women policy, but with as many chances as he gave Stephen Garcia, he should put his foot in his mouth when talking about kicking players off of team.
10 years ago at 11:54 amI think any coach would have a hard time letting go of a player that shined against Alabama. That being said, Garcia was a shithead.
10 years ago at 11:56 amI’m 100% convinced that’s the only reason he let him stay. He was mediocre at best besides the Bama game.
10 years ago at 11:57 amI agree. He had his good games and his awful games. He went from beating number 1 Alabama one week to losing to unranked Kentucky the next. It’s a team sport, but he did shit the bed as much as he played great games.
10 years ago at 12:01 pmGarcia claimed he was carried out by the bouncer in Five Points the night before the Bama game. No fucking idea how he did it
10 years ago at 12:51 pmToo bad Spurrier has already said he’s probably going to be gone in a couple years, which screwed our recruiting.
10 years ago at 11:55 amForgetting to get fired. TFM
10 years ago at 12:20 pmFuck Spurrier and his lesbian golf hat
10 years ago at 2:49 pmNo, fuck you.
