The Sharks are swimming for Spurrier


Last week it was Miami (Fl) offering a job to Coach Spurrier and now this week the Tide are offering Spurrier a $39 million paycheck with no cuts over 10 years to rebuild the program that Bear built.

We're going to need a bigger boat!

As I said before Spurrier isn't going to leave. I would look for a renegotiation of his contract but not by much because money isn't Spurrier's motivation. When he took the job at Carolina he told the President and Athletic Director that he'd sign for less as long as they put the excess money towards the Women's Programs. I would highly doubt that he would leave for the money.


Spurrier wants to leave his own legacy at Carolina. For him to pull up stakes and move to Bama to live in Bear Bryant's shadow would be a huge surprise to me.
