spurrier told florida fans that he's doing them a favor by not returning to UF. don't know much about the gator faithful, but their reputation is one of overbearing scrutiny and impatience. and his legacy didn't do zook any favors- their fan base crucified him, and it didn't help that zook happened to be SS' successor.

spurrier knows that he probably would lead UF back to prominince quickly if he went back, but for only a few years- and then the next head coach would have an unfair standard from which to work. UF fans should remember that SS brought legitimacy to a program that only had a few good seasons before his arrival.
