No offense, Daseal, but you did not have to be in the locker room to see what kind of coach Spurrier was. His NFL teams were the most ill-prepared, poorly coached I have ever seen. I was not in the locker room with Gibbs or Lombardi (or even Landry for that matter), but their teams were very obviously well-coached. Constant, ongoing problems with idiotic penalties like the Redskins were making is ALWAYS a SURE sign of bad coaching. He was never able to adjust to handle the blitzes, so more and more came at him. His blocking schemes looked like a fire drill. Don't wait for him to get his next NFL coaching job. There is absolutely no possibility of that happening. But he will surely coach college again, where he is one of the best. What is the difference? There are many. One of the most important is the fact that every college defense he faces has strong weaknesses, especially when numerous DB's have to be on the field. His passing strategy floods the defensive backfield with WR's and exploits the weak DB(s). And college defenses are not anywhere near the sophistication of the Pros. I did feel bad for Spurrier last year. It was obvious he was totally miserable. And that is another reason he will not be back in the NFL. He will stick with the game where he knows he will succeed, and be happy.
