 Re: College Football Notebook
STEVE SPURRIER: A look at the ole ball coach. Spurrier was a multi-talented
athlete in high school starring in football, basketball and baseball at Science
Hill high school, in Johnson City, Tennessee. At Florida, he won the Heisman
Trophy with a career 4848 passing yards and 36 touchdowns. In 1967, he
was drafted in the first round by the San Francisco 49ers. He spent nine
years SF before playing his last season with Tampa Bay. During his 10 year
he played in 106 games, with 597 completions, 6878 yards and 40 tds.
He was a great college QB but only average success as a pro. His calling
was coaching.
Florida: 6 SEC Championships, 5 time Coach of The Year, won at least 9
games in each of his 12 seasons, averaged 10 wins per season, 1 National-
championship, weekly polls 202 0f 203 weeks.
Duke: Won an ACC Championship in football as head coach. Think about
that, in football.
I am a Bama fan and SEC fan and Spurrier is the best coach in the
conference. |
