As a life long FSU fan, this is amazing. Nothing beat the Big 3 in the 90's. Nothing but respect for the HBC.

I love these Steve Spurrier stories and Bates has the perfect delivery. There will never be another coach who has the swagger, humor, and zingers like the Head Ball Coach, and I miss him being a staple in the SEC even though he gave the Tide fits in the 90’s.

As a Nebraska fan I really enjoyed this video. I loved seeing Florida win a National Championship the year after Nebraska. There is something special in the story of losing a Championship game and coming back to win it. It’s a huge part of Nebraska 94-95 and what they learned from losing in 93 to FSU. They regrouped and came back and won 2 against Miami and Florida. I would love to hear the story of what the 96 Gators learned and what resolved they had to win after losing in 95. You can’t find reference to it ANYWHERE. Has anyone ever heard a Gator or Spurrier talk about it? Would love to hear it.

Haven't heard a comment from Spurrier himself, but one key difference for the Gators in 1996 was Spurrier hiring Bob Stoops as DC. Stoops was a Big12 guy and immediately implemented a tougher, more physical defensive scheme and the Gators I believe set a school record for sacks in '96. Florida had often given up a lot of points including big leads to the toughest opponents (FSU, Tenn, Auburn, Nebraska) in the previous years, so I think Spurrier being an offensive-minded coach, realized he needed a premium defense to win a National Championship.

I'm a Bama fan, but you've gotta love Spurrier. One I can't find evidence of, but was related to me by my older brother goes as follows: During his time in the pros, Spurrier ran up the score against an opponent in a preseason exhibition game. When asked why he did this by a journalist after the game, he answered, "Well, they still had their first string in."

Spurrier would have a vinyl, plastic type jacket on the side of the bench. When the Gators had a big lead with 2:00 left to play, he would put the jacket on. Later the players will give him a Gatorade splash. He would take off the wet light jacket and keep on coaching.

In 94 Auburn was ranked No6, some people had them higher. UF had around 6 turnovers that day and couldn't stop Auburn toward the end of the game.

From a Gator and Tide fan, I have to agree HBC is one of a kind - he made it fun for his guys. I miss the days of the visor toss, "God smiling on the Gators" phrase, and you can't spell Citrus without "UT" - he and Ms. Jerry are great ambassadors for UF.

Rob Johnson His last year at SC we were awful. He probably goes 3-9 that year, maybe 4-8 at best. Our recruiting was terrible and our roster wasn’t much better. Would you have rather he didn’t quit and continued the losing trajectory OR give another coach a chance like he said he would do if the program started heading south?

Rob Johnson That’s dumb. He quit to give Sean Elliott a chance to get the job. He saw how it worked when Clemson fired Bowden mid season and Dabo was given a chance. He did the absolute right thing.
