I think da Spur is about ready to hang up the visor for good. Charlie

I think he would have been gone after last season had Tennessee not backed into the SEC Championship Game. Anyway, say it is early December, and Tennessee is looking at a short list of potential replacements. Question: is SOS on that list? Think about it. They can approach him and say "Okay, Coach Spurrier, we admire what you are trying to do at South Carolina, but do you really think you'll be able to pull them into the top tier of the SEC? We already are a top tier SEC program; we just need you to bring us back to our rightful place. We have the resources to put you back on top. "Here, recruiting won't be the uphill struggle it is in Columbia. From here, you'll be much more likely to torment Georgia, and you'll be able to stick your finger in the eye of Bernie Machen and Jeremy Foley. "The Tennessee fans would love having you on their side, after all these years of you beating them. They would be incredibly supportive. It would be like a homecoming for you. "Oh, and one last thing Coach Spurrier. Unlike at Alabama, we won't be comparing your every move to what some long-dead coach would have done. "So what do you say, Steve? Are you ready to stop beating your head against the wall at South Carolina and join us, and get back on a winning team?" Likely? No. I think SOS would remain loyal to the folks who hired him at South Carolina. And I think it would be very unlikely that Tennessee would even approach him, given the outright hatred the fans there have for him. But I do find it interesting to think about. We Gator fans who tolerate him at a program we really don't perceive as a serious threat would have a very different attitude toward him at a real rival. I won't worry about it, though. Right now, I'll worry that we may come out flat against Ole Miss or that Houston Nutt will pull something out of his bag of tricks. That is much more of a concern now. Anyway, goodnight, and Go Gators!!!! Ken B.
