if you thought the UNC job rumors were funny

Actually its possible. Spurrier has a small buyout so he could easily get out of his contract. South Carolina hasn't delievered on all its promises, and Coker is gone.

 

Not out of the question. He seems to have it in for the Gators, some how, some way. They certainly can afford to give Spurrier anything he wants, other than a decent stadium.

 

That would be hilarious and wouldn't surprise me at all. Which UNC rumors were funny. The only one I heard (and doubted at the time) was Davis and he took the job.

 

I think this line from the News & Observer is funny:
"Even a one-sided win over East Carolina wouldn't be enough to change the dilemma ahead.

Apparently they haven't yet noticed that ECU is pretty solid this year. A one point loss to Rice will presumably keep them out of the C-USA championship game, but they did beat Virginia. State should win, but I don't think the N&O should be assuming anything right now, especially a one-sided win. I imagine most State fans feel the same.

 

well this is catching legs...this would be so damn awesome.

miami would score more than 7 points a game.

 

Spurrier and Davis in the ACC would certainly make things more interesting.

 

Source: If Coker fired, Miami to target Spurrier
By Joe Schad

In a move that would shake college football, South Carolina coach Steve Spurrier has been targeted as a leading candidate to succeed Larry Coker should he be dismissed as Miami head coach, a source close to the situation said Sunday.

Coker is expected to be fired after Thursday's game against Boston College.

Miami president Donna Shalala had hoped Coker could win the final two games of the season and then could argue to bring him back. But at 5-6 and with the team in danger of missing a bowl, influential trustees and boosters have begun inquiring about prospective replacements and identified Spurrier, the former Florida coach, as the top choice with the goal of making a splashy hire.

A person close to Spurrier said he is interested in the position largely because he can compete in the state of Florida against his former school and believes he could win a national championship there.

Spurrier makes about $1.3 million a year at South Carolina and has 5 years remaining on his contract. Miami would likely be able to pay him at least $500,000 a year more annually.

 

Freakshow is going to kill himself.
