I've never mentioned this before on the board, but I have a good friend who worked in the football office for years under Spurrier. She was very close with him and the family and spent plenty of time with them outside the office over the years. I can't divulge what she told me about the whole foley fiasco because for years she would never say anything when questioned but about 3 years ago she opened up to me about it under the strict pretense that I never reveal a word of what she said.
So... I can't provide anything of substance, and for that reason feel free to disregard if you so desire, but what I can say is that the information she revealed about foley and his actions regarding Spurrier and the HC job were pretty shocking. There's a big part of behind the scenes foley that noone here knows about and that would shock even the most died in the wool foley bashers. Bottom line, foley was one supremely arrogant, narcissistic POS to the point of mortally damaging the football program just to spite SOS. To this day, my friend is so disgusted with foley, she won't even say his name.
If she's disgusted to the point of no longer saying his name, she probably wouldn't mind you throwing the bastard under the bus...
