Some journalist should ask him how much longer he plans to coach. Maybe he will make the mistake Spurrier did.
Not one commitment from our neighbors top 30 is on us.
Aren't they struggling and losing head scratching games this year?
Yes. But they don’t look nearly as bad as we have looked.
I would add this: the fourth-year quarterback at UNC has shown some regression, for whatever reason. This is undoubtedly part of what you're talking about. But Mack is still a heck of a salesman. As long as he has the vitality to carry on, I wouldn't count him out.
Honestly, this kinda irritates me. Spurrier got the retirement questions all the time at USC. Mac Brown nothing. Nick Saban nothing. Why doesn’t the media badger them like they did Spurrier?
The people who asked Spurrier had every right to ask. He didn't have to go all stupid and answer in specific terms.
Another thing that irks me about the sports media, after Clowney finished his first college season there were some telling him to sit the next two seasons out to protect himself for the draft. After he completed his second season they were telling him he had nothing to prove, and sit out his third year for the draft. I cant recall another football player at any other university being questioned about why return to play after just one or two seasons.
And rightly so - unless he was ready to go immediately.
I don't disagree but it's hard to fault someone for being honest.
A person has to act in the best interest of the enterprise of which he is in charge. It was not necessary to answer with such frankness. A person could be more guarded and not lie to anybody. "There'll come a day. That day comes from everybody, but I can't tell you when that day will come because I don't know myself. We've got a lot of work left to do to get our program where we want it."
The University of Virginia was too snobbish and not going to recruit that area until Va Tech started beating them like a drum every year.
Cuz their media isn’t in bed with Clemson
Not sure how you can say that? It has everything to do with us. We are supposed to recruit NC. Maybe Beamer is not that great a recruiter now that he does not have the Spurrier name to recruit for!
That one answer killed recruiting immediately. It never recovered.
Garbage we have, what do you mean? I hope you are not calling our players garbage?
I know that. You know that. Steve Spurrier knows that. But he's a guy that speaks first and worries about what people think about it later. He certainly would have liked to have had those words back. Not the only time it bit him in the ass. But his honesty and ability took him far in life.
He could get on with his life; we had to live with the wreckage.
Recruiting is based on relationships. We are going to be paying for the Muschamp, "you must come to my camp" philosophy for a little while. Hopefully, things will be better in 2022 for 2023 recruiting class.
757. I liked referring to the area as Hampton Roads or Tidewater VA much better.
I get that, was just conveying that recruiting can look great one day and not so much these days.
