SOS wasnt even calling his own offense by then and frankly SOSJr was dreadful at it.
No one worships SOS and Fun and Gun football more than me but SOS the aging CEO type coach wasnt great. Good enough to win a very weak east and beat Bammer once, no small feat at the second school in So Cacalaka, but still he wasnt great. Despite beating Dabo regularly, Dabo recruited harder and better and built a national contender. SOS did not.
I want SOS the young, wildest most aggressive OC. He wasnt that anymore. Would he have been dofferent back at UF, I doubt it. He always said he didnt want to be like 70 year old Bobby Bowden out there embarrassing himself.
Certainly you have underlined the risk. Bill Snyder is the upside possibility.
Remember Spurrier coming to UF would be starting again not Spurrier 27 years in a t UF. That could well make a difference. I guess it is true that more of the coming home again coaches do not work out. And heck he might not take the job, but I certainly prefer Spurrier to getting another Foley 3rd or 4th choice.
