You're probably right! The second biggest blunder that hurt USC, was announcing that he
2,3,&4 are the same blunder.Those are way down the list.
1. Naming Junior as RC.
2. Replacing EJ with Ward
3. Replacing Lawing with Adams.
4. Hiring Botkin.
5. Hiring Elliott.
Start here and it will explain the above.
uknow & i know..... im hipp b4 many of these folks were ever a drip off their dads loins
I'm about to break the like button!Those are way down the list.

HBC's biggest mistake was delegating the evaluation to people who didn't know what they were doing.
Pretty sure it was.Was that the same year that we were recruiting Barker out of KY? I think Spurrier probably told Barker they were not going to recruit another QB that year.
I would reverse the two. A miscalculation of talent is one thing. Saying stupid crap is deliberate.You're probably right! The second biggest blunder that hurt USC, was announcing that he
may not coach after a couple of more years! That one is unforgivable IMO!!!!
He wanted to go out of state.Was there ever an explanation for not offering him?
I protest!! Tyrone Nix should feel insulted!Lorenzo Ward as DC hands down!!! Nothing else compares....
Because that's where his opportunities were.He wanted to go out of state.
You are right, quick ,easy and lazy hires plus his dumb statement and the golf course pretty much ruint our program.Those are way down the list.

SpurrYou are right, quick ,easy and lazy hires plus his dumb statement and the golf course pretty much ruint our program.
Spurrier sucked, he came in and destroyed a dominant historic program. The depths of mediocrity that he brought this program to is as you say unforgivable. It will take a 100 years to get back to what we were before he came. Any mention of his name at our university should be removed for eternity.You're probably right!

Bad game indeed but he also "started" all the Clemson games and Alabama!Starting Garcia vs Auburn in whatever year that was?
You are right, quick ,easy and lazy hires plus his dumb statement and the golf course pretty much ruint our program.
I guess I'm imagining the 11 win seasonsSpurrier and son both thought a 2 star athlete from Ala. or La. Was better than a 3 or 4 star nearby. ...bust after bust....then he bailed out. Ward wasn't great, but better than the talent recruited. Look at Venables, mediocre at Oklahoma, great at Clemson. Why? Who can't coach that embarrassment of riches on D? It's really about talent and coaching chemistry, we had neither.
Good article. We definitely missed out on him.
Probably didn't know who he was. He wouldn't be the only one,Was there ever an explanation for not offering him?
JR to Recruiting Coordinator will always be # 1 for me.
Then things like Mason fall into that bucket, part of the mess created by moving Jr. into that role.
Gospel truth right here.Those are way down the list.

That's right thanks to SOS, you can defend him all you want but at the end of the day he quit on us and left this program in shambles, plain and simple. Yeah he won 11 games 3 years straight but how many championships did he win here Mr. Expert?Haha !! That’s funny . What program ?? The one that’s been mediocre for a century ?? I would say we are right back where we’ve always been
