Lol. You guys are 1-7 against Will Muschamp and haven’t been relevant in 2 decades. Go brush your tooth and check on the still. Granny Clampett needs love too. She is your neighbor right?
That's it- I give up

The team was undefeated and ranked #2 in the country when that happened. Sure, it was disappointing, but only in the sense that it may have cost South Carolina a shot at a national title. That was still one of the best seasons in school history. Plus, it was a classic "trap" game that fell in-between wins over Florida State and Clemson. South Carolina also beat Notre Dame and Georgia that year. I think most fans would welcome a repeat of 1984 in a heartbeat.
Sure he could still use the old playbook but he wasn't hitting on much with Blake, Chris, Syvelle or even Garcia. Actually pretty much the same we see now. Beat Bama lose to KY and Vandy. Best case scenario 8 wins. Count UT, UF, CLEM as losses every year.Yeah. Spurrier's results was strictly due to luck and not the fact he is a hall of famer who actually knew how to coach.
It took luck to land a random 3 star QB from GA, and luck that he also happened upon a 5 star RB, and once in a lifetime DE and some generational WR talent.
He beat UF and UT his very first year here. Them and Clemson were not guaranteed losses every year under him. Neither was Georgia. Face it. Spurrier was a far superior game day coach and his staffs (except at the very end) actually developed the talent we landed and turned 3 star players into first round draft picks.
Holtz started in 1999, and had won the 1988 National Championship, that's a difference of 11 years not 20, and won big bowls for the time in the early 1990's. 1993 he went 11-1, finished # 2 in the AP, that's 6 years not 20 years.
Everyone talks about this guy inherited a dumpster fire, it applies to Holtz more then any coach in USC's history.
The state of South Carolina is very small and has lousy high school football in most years. The state of Georgia averages 42 guys each year that are 4 and 5* players, SC usually has 7. Spurrier just happened to come along at a time when SC produced some of the best players ever.......Clowney, Lattimore, Gilmore, Jeffery, Swearinger, Shell, etc etc. There are none of these type players anywhere around now.
well, it's the one thing they can crow about. They finally beat us. Congrats, Viles, even a blind squirrel finds a nut every now and again.
With the players from SC, yes. Go look at his record the first 5 years, before all those great SC players got here......very average. We didn’t start to become really good till all those good SC guys came to Carolina.

Go look at his track record over his entire college coaching career. It was not luck. He had just had to work extra hard to change the loser mentality of our fan base.
I didn’t say he wasn’t a good coach. I said he was lucky to come here during a time when some of the best players in the state were in SC HS. This is the third time I’ve had to explain this to you. Maybe you need to find another hobby. Then after his nice 4 year run, the handwriting was on the wall and he quit. The end.
Nice insult. So Spurrier gets no credit with actually keeping all that talent here and playing for us? After all, no matter how much talent the state has had, UGA, UT, UF and FSU and the like were always swooping in and cherry picking the best talent. We've also always had to recruit NC, GA and FL along with our state just to try and stay competitive. I'd say he did that pretty well, too. Or did he get lucky there too?
What the poster is saying is correct, but yes, Spurrier does get credit for keeping those guys instate.
But those guys....Clowney. Lattimore. Ellington. Jeffrey. Gilmore.
That is program changing quality, and that they did.
And if they WERE from NC, GA, and/or FL, I doubt very seriously we get them. We and Spurrier were INDEED lucky they were from SC and thus had somewhat of an incentive to come to us.
He got 5 star Culliver from NC, so that's not necessarily true. And as I said, other schools used to almost always swoop in and take our best talent out of state. Spurrier kept them here and won big with them.
What the hell is a Mandingo? F him and UT!! Win 1 out of 7,
and now he thinks he is the “Nature Boy”!! Inbreeding does that to a species!!!
And even if we do catch fire with a young, unproven coach, are we able to keep him?
