"You Can't Spell Citrus Without UT..."

ck to what he knows.

Now Spurrier being Spurrier, he could have gotten a job with a more relevant program than South Carolina (no offense Gamecocks), but he chose them–undoubtedly because he knew that he would put them back on the map like he did Duke and Florida, and thereby levitate his status once again...arrogance.

"I know why Peyton came back his senior year–he wants to be a three-time Citrus MVP"—Spurrier.

So where's your three-time MVP (at any position) now coach? Maybe it was you, instead of Holtz, that should have been giving funny pep talks on ESPN, considering you haven't had a nine win season, and he has.

Yes, he has a slightly better record (28-22 in four seasons compared to his 33-37 in six seasons), but just give it time. I don't think you have much more time though.

Time has seemingly caught up and passed the ol' ball coach by. Spurrier still has his job because of his past deeds alone, but that well is about to run out.

Has he lost his creative edge? Is it the recruiting? Is it the lack of quarterback play? Are other coaches actually better than him these days? Are his X's and O's retiring to tic-tac-toe?

All of these might be possibilities, but I like to think...

Karma is a bitch.
