So, a couple notes first. This is a major work in progress for me (truth be told I've been on and off this project for years now, but the quarantine has provided me with some extra down time and I've been hitting it hard the past week or so). I thought I'd go ahead and share what I have to get some much needed input. To that, I'm relatively young (was at USC from 2010-14) so I don't have the full grasp of the impact and talent from years back, but I tried my best to not have too much recency bias.
*Also, this isn't exactly an all-time team, as I limited it to 1950-present, mainly because judging players from such different eras is insanely difficult. Another challenge with this project has been trying to determine exactly what position certain players played (or would play on this imaginary team), especially from the pre-Spurrier era (before I began watching and understanding football), so that's why I have not designated differences between free and strong safety, outside vs interior linebackers, and offensive line positions. Not to mention that through the years we've switched so many times between base schemes (3-4 vs 4-3 for example) with many hybrid positions popping up as well(SPUR/BUCK, etc.). Also, some positions may be incorrect (CB vs S, LB vs DE, DE vs DT, etc.) as there are numerous players (Eric Norwood being a great example) that played different positions throughout their career at Carolina, so please allow some leniency when you see these.
I have (or at least plan to have) full write-ups for each player but for now I'll just post what I've written up for Spurrier (spoiler alert!). So as I said, please let me know what you think, and where changes could/should be made.

Head Coach - Steve Spurrier, "HBC" 2005-2015
South Carolina's all-time winningest head coach, with an 86-49 overall record and a 5-4 record in bowl games. Known for accomplishing many firsts as the Gamecocks 'Head Ball Coach', Spurrier was able to lift the South Carolina program to heights previously thought unreachable.
In his first season as head coach in 2005, in a season that many pundits predicted would end with more losses than wins, South Carolina won five consecutive SEC games, a first in the program's 14-year SEC history. Included among those victories were historic wins at Tennessee — the program's first win in Knoxville — and against 12th-ranked Florida, who South Carolina had not beaten since 1939. The Gamecocks finished 2nd in the division with a 7-5 record, and the Associated Press named Spurrier the SEC Coach of the Year.
In the following years Spurrier continued to build a formidable program, and in 2010 South Carolina won the SEC East for the first time. South Carolina clinched the division title with a convincing victory at "The Swamp" over the Gators, the program's first ever win at Florida. South Carolina also defeated #1 Alabama, earning the program's first ever win over a top ranked team. Spurrier was again named SEC Coach of the Year.
The Gamecocks continued to rise after the 2010 season, leading to the best years in school history. In 2011 USC won 10 games for only the second time in their 119-year football history. In the 2012 Capital One Bowl, the Gamecocks beat Nebraska 30-13 to win their school-record 11th game. They finished 8th in the AP Poll and 9th in the Coaches' Poll—their first top-ten finishes in a major media poll in school history. South Carolina matched the 11-win total in 2012 after defeating Michigan in the Outback Bowl, finishing 8th in the AP Poll and 7th in the Coaches' Poll. Again in 2013 USC marched on to 10 regular season wins and accepted an invite back to the Capital One Bowl, where they met Wisconsin. South Carolina downed the Badgers 34-24 to earn their third straight 11-win season, and a final ranking of 4th in the AP Poll, the highest finish in school history.
In the ten full seasons as South Carolina's head coach, Spurrier led the team to 9 winning seasons. Against South Carolina's biggest rival, Clemson, Spurrier led the Gamecocks to a 6-4 record, including a school record five game win streak from 2009-2013. Against Georgia, South Carolina won five games, including a top 5 match-up that ended with a 35-7 drubbing of the Bulldogs in 2012. And against Spurrier's former team, the Florida Gators, South Carolina went 5-5 overall, highlighted by the aforementioned victory in 2010.
South Carolina had 38 players drafted into the NFL that played under Spurrier, including a record seven each in 2009 and 2013. Four of them were selected in the first round, including the 2014 #1 overall pick, Jadeveon Clowney. Clowney, a Rock Hill, SC native, was the former #1 overall high school recruit, and could have gone to any school in the country. However, following in the footsteps of other great South Carolina high school standouts such as Stephon Gilmore, Alshon Jeffery, and Marcus Lattimore, Clowney chose his hometown team, USC. Slowly but surely Spurrier was able to dominate in-state recruiting, which was vital for staying a step ahead of Clemson, as well as keeping pace with division rivals, which had been plucking elite talent away from the state for years. These players were the cornerstone of what would become the greatest Gamecock teams in history.
Just as Spurrier worked to build the football program on the field, he did as much for the program, and university, off the field. Spurrier was the driving force behind USC's new-found commitment to renovating athletic facilities on campus and around Williams-Brice, including the stadium itself. Spurrier himself donated an initial $250,000 in 2006 to kick off the athletic department's campaign. Notable transformations and upgrades include the $6.5 million installation of the stadium's 36' x 124' video board54-acre tailgating parkthe highest mark in SEC history. In fact, USC owns three of the top five highest marks in graduation rates in SEC history - 2010 (98%), 2009 (95%), and 2011 (93%). Vanderbilt is the only other university in the conference to reach a graduation rate above 90%.
While Spurrier never quite found the success at South Carolina that he once had at his alma mater Florida, his legacy as South Carolina's greatest coach will live on for years to come. Any future success USC enjoys will ultimately be tied back to the groundwork Spurrier laid during his time here, and his name will forever be painted on the concrete inside Williams-Brice Stadium. Spurrier was inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame in 2017.
