Spurrier to South Carolina

Gamecocks’ Holtz to retire (maybe)

I’m not ashamed to say it. I am a Steve Spurrier fan. I believe in the Fun n’ Gun offense, and I think it works.

There. I’m outted as a runnin’ and gunnin’ fool.

So I was rather pleased when I read this morning that Spurrier was returning to college ball as head coach of the South Carolina Gamecocks:

Steve Spurrier, who guided Florida to six SEC championships and a national championship in his 12 years in Gainesville, has agreed in principle to take over at South Carolina for Lou Holtz as the Gamecocks’ head coach, a source close to the situation told The Tennessean last night.

One potential snag in the agreement could be if Holtz, 67, has a change of heart and decides at the last minute not to retire. Spurrier has also been known to change his mind, although he’s made it clear to South Carolina that the Gamecocks’ job is the one he wants.

Awesome. Now Holtz has to keep his end of the deal and retire. Not that I am not a Holtz fan, but I can wait for Spurrier to unleash the Fun n’ Gun on the SEC again. Aww yeah. . .
