What was he supposed to say? Fvkk Fooley?Ten years in one place is enough .
Old school SOS.
Truly shocking, huh, that he had virtually zilch player disciplinary issues while the rap sheet on the uber-schmooze Bowden was a mile long.
You played for Spurrier because you WANTED to.
Neither did the strong-armed kid from Bloomington, Indiana, the one who personally sold himself to Spurrier.Well the players can say anything the want and feed into the Spurrier myth, but both of them signed with Spurrier. That is ultimately effective recruiting.
Also both of these guys were "local" so they did not need a lot of information about UF, Gainesville or the weather.
Spurrier would also cut you from the team in a heart beat if you acted a fool.Old school SOS.

You mixing Bacardi with your coffee this a.m.? That wasn't at all the point.What was he supposed to say? Fvkk Fooley?
I mailed a resume?
He is more loyal than he should have been.

The point was that although he felt at the time it was time for a change of scene, it struck me as not well thought out, and it still strikes me that way. I'll bet even Spurrier regrets it in the rear-view mirror. I think he was frustrated and easily distracted by Snyder's money.
I rather doubt there was any myth about Spurrier's ability to groom quarterbacks or the success the program had achieved under him by the time 1999 rolled around.But lots of out of state highly ranked kids, Berlin, Hiliard, Badeaux, Green, K. Walker, Troup etc and many instate kids from other parts of Florida were provided information and convinced by UF, by Spurrier's offense, by the family atmosphere as described by Warren, Spurrier, others on the staff etc to come to UF during that time. And UF had tons of talent on those teams. Don't let anyone snow you with any myths.
The money meant way less to him than working for a horsetoothed cvvnt of an AD.I could be wrong but I bet the money meant little to nothing to him. After all he left a lot on the table because he was not meeting his expectations.
My dad still considers him a traitor. I never did. Steve was his own soul, and even though he absolutely adores Florida, he wanted to go down his own path and never really looked back. He’s has a great life and career, and the path lead him back to GainesvilleTen years in one place is enough and yet he spent another 10 -- well, actually fewer but it seemed like an eternity -- in an SEC shythole.
I'm sometimes convinced Steve drew up his future plans like he did the plays, scrawling them in the dirt as he went.
There were so many accounts of what led to what. I tried to put myself in a helicopter above the situation in an attempt to sift through the clutter of thinking.The money meant way less to him than working for a horsetoothed cvvnt of an AD.
He just wasnt going to do it anymore.
HE WAS PISSED at the Earnest Graham thing and even more pissed at that cvvnt Fooley's refusal to back him up.
