Spurrier stokes Urban Meyer-to-Notre Dame rumors
By LARRY HARTSTEIN
Atlanta Journa-Constitution
Thursday, May 14, 2009
There is no offseason when it comes to Steve Spurrier’s ability to stir things up.
Without prompting, the Head Ball Coach this week brought up rumors about Florida coach Urban Meyer bolting for Notre Dame.
In a long interview on the Paul Finebaum Radio Network, Spurrier called Meyer one of the nation’s top coaches, then digressed.
“They’ve still got that rumor going down there, Paul, that if he has about one more big year he might be the Notre Dame coach,” Spurrier said. “I know you’ve heard that rumor.”
Finebaum chimed in that “people at Notre Dame firmly believe” Meyer will jump to South Bend next year.
Meyer grew up in Ohio and has repeatedly referred to Notre Dame as his “dream job.” But he chose Florida over the Irish in 2004.
“It’d be surprising if he left, but who knows?” said Spurrier, the former Gators coach now heading South Carolina. “He’s accomplished so much. I mean, I left after 12 years because I just said, ‘Hey, I’ve done enough. Try something else.’ He may get to the point where he needs to try something else. Who knows?”
Confirming that he was speaking off the cuff, Spurrer added: “Maybe it was his dream job and not anymore. I don’t know.”

Meyer made Gator fans forget all about Spurrier.....

and I think it hurts his feelings.
Spurrier hates it that Gator fans aren't missing him (at all).

Spurrier when they look into the ring of honor.
While Urban has clearly surpassed in short order what Spurrier did as a coach. Spurrier will always be beloved at Flroida because he played there and won the Heisman. No one will ever make Gator fans forget their golden boy.

too. Spurrier left a sour taste in all their mouths when he bolted for NFL. Only reason they missed him is they werent winning. Now, since they are winning again, the only time SOS name comes up is the annual beat down they put on the gas pumpers.

you like. But all you have to do is ask the fans. Without exception, every one of them that I've spoken with will always love Spurrier.
Why does that notion bother some of you guys?
You honestly think you'd love Danny Ford less if Dabo Swinney (or some other guy) came to Clemson and won 2 national titles. Of course not.

times...Urban is eclipsing Spurrier, and the "legacy" is wearing for most UF fans.
You do realize you can only boast about his accomplishments at another school other than your own?
Pathetic isnt it?

I'm just telling you how it is. I already said that Meyer had eclipsed what Spurrier did as a coach. And that's amazing when you consider relatively speaking how short his tenure has been.
But also... Spurrier will have something Meyer never will. He is an alum, and heisman winner. He'll always be a Florida golden boy for that.
Some people here want to pretned that Spurrier is somehow no longer loved as a result of what Meyer is doing now. That's not really very logical.

Of course they will always recognize his accomplishments as a player and coach, but like I said his actions and comments have soured their thoughts of him. Their missing him was mistaken for missing winning.

UF is a great school, ranking among the top twenty public universities in the country by any measure. UF has a great campus, in a big state, rich with donors and college football prospects. In the very recent past, the Gators have won two national titles in football AND two national titles in basketball.
Steve Spurrier coaches football in Columbia SC. The man has been to the top of the mountain and he knows what it looks like. Gainesville does not look, feel, act, smell or in anyway remotely resemble the place Spurrier lives and works now.
You cannot blame Spurrier for being depressed. He looks around and he thinks, "FML"

I have been to Gainsville twice to find that it wasn't nearly what I expected. They cram a lot of folks in there but they just weren't that loud and rowdy. Red Stick blows the Swamp away IMO as does the real Death Valley.

place I've ever seen a game. That was the first time I realized what it truly meant when someone says they can't hear themselves think.
Death valley has never been as loud in the times I have been there. Not to say DV isn't a loud, boisterous environment mind you.
i have experience with LSU. I always expected UT to be loud, just based on shear size of the stadium, but while it's a good time, it is not nearly as loud as I expected.

I've been to Baton Rouge twice and I still think The Swamp is louder. Jordan Hare, War Memorial, and Bryant Denny are also very loud.
UGA and Tennessee for some reason just don't get that loud.

they recognized his achievements, but no one is clamoring about how good he is or wanting him back. In fact every yr they are making signs that attack him and tell him how much they are going to kick his @$$. If he wanted to come back, they would laugh.

I think that if fat boy gets canned at ND, if Meyer does not take the Irish job, Spurrier might to get out of Gas Pumper Tech.... he was the man when he was in Gainesville, but now he is head clucker he is the second best coach that UF has ever had and most likely the 4th or 5th best Gas Pump U has ever had...before you bust out laughing, I think their best caoches are in this order:
1. Morrison
2. Carlen
3. Holtz
4. Dietzel
5. Spurrier
If anyone thinks the order is wrong, please feel free to reshuffle the deck
