That's an excellent point and well taken. He was probably the champ program builder. Good thing the NCAA didn't order buildings torn down at UF and Clemson after Charlie got caught. :-) Sent from my Verizon Wireless BlackBerry

Sure, I'm on board with that. He built Clemson into a national champion, and UF into a should-have-been national champion. Charley Pell as one of the greatest coaches? I don't agree. He coached so tight sometimes he squeezed the air out of himself and the team. Note that both Clemson and UF had their greatest success after new head coaches took over. --Jong [email protected] <mailto:[email protected]> wrote: Any conversation about greatest coaches should include Charlie Pell. Yes, cheated, etc. But, he lead the construction of facilities and even about thinking about providing facilities all these stud players would have to have before even thinking about coming to UF. Without Charlie Spurrier would have never gotten the talent. Neither would Meyer. -- GATORS: ONE VOICE ON SATURDAY - NO VOICE ON SUNDAY! 1996 National Football Champions | 2006 National Basketball Champions 2006 National Football Champions | 2007 National Basketball Champions 2008 National Football Champions | Three Heisman Trophy winners: Steve Spurrier (1966), Danny Wuerffel (1996), Tim Tebow (2007) - Visit our website at www.gatornet.us
