Spurrier Denies Resignation Reports By Mark Maske Washington Post Staff Writer Tuesday, December 30, 2003; 1:22 PM The Washington Redskins announced the resignation of Coach Steve Spurrier today only to have Spurrier deny that he had resigned moments later. "I have not resigned," Spurrier said by cellphone. "I've got a representative looking into some issues but I have not resigned. If they say that I have, that is not true. I'm not sure it is heading in that direction right now. We are seeing where it goes but I have not resigned." A team source said that Spurrier's new agent, Jimmy Sexton, told the Redskins to issue the news release. In a news release issued early this afternoon, the Redskins said Spurrier had telephoned owner Daniel Snyder and resigned "in the best interest of the Redskins franchise." In the release, Snyder said "I have accepted Steve's resignation with much regret but respect his decision." The Redskins said in the release that they will begin their search for Spurrier's replacement immediately. kurt ______________________________________________________ RollTideFan - The University of Alabama Athletics Discussion List "Welcome to RollTideFan!
