Steve Spurrier Resignation Press Conference - 10/13/15

[@JaredTuttle]

Well done coach! Thanks for all you've done for our program.

[@scratchking3205]

God yes! Thanks for this great.program

[@RedElephantStampede]

An ICON for sure. I HATED him, (because he was so damn good!!). Football will never be the same without this great man. He changed the game, perfected his style, and won the respect of us all. Steve Spurrier: One of the greatest football coaches of all time. I GUARANTEE you the Bear would be proud to play golf with Steve...and knowing "The Ole Ball Coach" (notice I did not say The Old) he might show Coach Bryant a thing or two! From a Bama fan: Steve, we love you and what you've done for Florida, Duke, South Carolina, and of course, for College Football in general. We'll miss you...

[@billhalford672]

I will miss Steve Spurrier having followed his football career ever since he threw his first pass at Florida. I am surprised at his resignation but not disappointed. I accept his explanation and wish him well as he carries on. He made an indelible mark on the game in how his talent and genius has impacted the game. You may not have liked him, but I don't think anyone that is a fan of college football will ever forget him.

[@MattC42678]

The end of an awesome era! We will miss you HBC, forever to thee!

[@calebb7565]

thank you coach you are the best coch iv seen here at south carolina

[@ralphbanks814]

Gotta thank coach holtz for getting him here

[@jeffhardiman3957]

Watching this press conference. I truly believe South Carolina ran Spurrier out as head coach. Just look what he says and how he acts!

[@evergreenflex6661]

That’s exactly what happened they started controlling who he was allowed to hire and who he wasn’t

[@beardedwolf4713]

This was right after Kirby Smart whipped him in Athens!!

[@PermacultureHomestead]

ok time for Good, bad, ugly. Good-SS was the best thing to ever happen to SC Football bar none, will be very hard to find a new coach. Ugly- people remember how you finish. In this case he didn't finish, and by definition, he is a Quitter. A Heisman trophy Winner who quit half way through. Couldn't gut it out, be a man, and fade out with a nice 2 week notice after a loosing season. Lost all respect, but still love you for what you have done.

[@ShiestyRooster3130]

Looking back on this is sad to see I honestly think he should’ve roughed it out have a few down years but he would’ve gotten us back to where we was at regardless you have to respect his effort he took us to a sec championship game that nobody has ever done before

[@ryancrisp2508]

Forever to thee love ya ole ball couch

[@pellajoe]

Kinda seems like he's walking out on us, but I wish him the best. Thanks HBC

[@mrtron1850]

Spurrier proved he didn't care anything about the University of South Carolina, the state, the fans, or the players. It was all about him trying to be a Gamecock legend. When the going got rough, he got going because he didn't want all of those losses on *his* record.

[@teamchb3143]

The team quit on him......

[@theknowitall4090]

The brass at South Carolina wanted Spurrier to recruit harder and spend more time at the time football facility, not come in to practice late from playing golf and that wasn't going to happen. Spurrier was ready to go.

[@Sikerth]

No offense meant here. I'm genuinely curious. Has Spurrier always had that tick where he mumbles "Mhmm" "Yup" and "Okay" to himself between questions?

[@CoachatCole]

Yes

[@JamieJobb]

Fourth down will never be the same ...

[@darrenkayser8085]

God Bless you HBC and God Bless the Gamecocks

[@scratchking3205]

lol. Cocks are sorry

[@dcinsc]

As is always with Spurrier, at some point in his tenure, golfing became more important than coaching.

[@markgolden8710]

He got to old to recruit- when you’re to old to recruit- you’re done!

[@darionwilliams3510]

Never forget this day you can blame the players for his departure…

[@zackwhite8274]

And we've been mediocre ever since.😊

[@doodooclowney1518]

Should have retired after 2014.

[@jimhall5982]

Quitting in the middle of the season. Nice way to tarnish your otherwise impressive career.

[@teamchb3143]

+Jim Hall The team quit on him....

[@joeholbrook2704]

He hated losing so much that he couldn't stomach this upcoming 9 loss finish. Old ball coach quit on his players and USC.

[@alanbrown2135]

HEY SPURRIER JawGA HUNG A HALF CENTURY ON YOU-SO YOU QUIT-LMAO. My teacher said a quitter "never wins" My brother went to USCjr-so I can say what the HELL I WANT to say about the quitter...

What's Georgia's record against the ole ball coach?

[@charleslittleton6324]

Spurrier owned Georgia and the Vols.

[@Bondfinesse]

He quit, he is a quitter and that's all there is

[@alanbiggers426]

He turned in to the Joe Biden of coaching. New he was too old and called it quits.. although he had a great past unlike “Let’s go Brandon”.. was the best thing for South Carolinato hire him and was best when he left. He did a ton financially for the program

[@TheDickensCider]

why is the volume so damn low

[@desirepants]

all he cares about is the money

[@RedTopGhost320]

He quit due to them spitting in his face. They got cocky & told him that they’ll be better off without him so he left. Before Spurrier, Carolina wasn’t where they are now & they basically told him that they’ll be successful even without him … we see how well that aged

[@drewparsons88ful]

@@RedTopGhost320 this is a lie. He told everyone why he quit. He started losing and he doesn't like losing. He absolutely quit on south carolina

[@RedTopGhost320]

@@drewparsons88ful I’m speaking on what I was told by inside sources. He’s obviously not gonna mention that in front of the camera
