As a life long Skins fan, I had great hopes for SOS; but it was not to be. Since Dan Snyder bought the team, they’ve been generally unsuccessful and he has been the one constant. I suspect even Belichick might have failed there. Having said that, I would like to have seen what Spurrier could have done there with a good quarterback.

He was our GOAT when he played, we were rarely out of a game. Most people my age who were lucky enough to watch him play have kept up and marveled at his exploits all these years. SOS, HBC, ALL TME GREAT GATOR!

I expect him this season to be a champion, they have the best record and a balanced team. He might coach more years if the new league continues.

Amen to that.

I was fortunate to have 8 season tickets during his time as head ball coach. It was the first time Florida football ruled the sec in my lifetime. We need to get that feeling back again. Hopefully we will.... Go Gators!!!!

I had season tickets back then as well. Even the Noon games were sold out. We always parked and tailgated by the Law building. Was a great time. I believe those times are just around the corner.

He didn't win there because he was not in charge of player personnel as all he wanted to do was, "draw up plays in the dirt" for the offense. IIRC, he had 2 QBs that knew his system well.

Love me some Spurdog. He probably would've won it all but at this point...who cares. Seems slightly tone deaf. People's jobs on the line...great...call yourself champion. It's not like anyone from Orlando has done that recently.

Edit: I knew someone would take it the wrong way. I love spurrier and he's my favorite Gator of all-time.

Wuerfell led the league in ypa if I remember correctly, and Matthews was 2nd or 3rd in the same stat.

Silver lining: Steve Spurrier finishes as the AAF's ALL-TIME WINNINGEST COACH. (7).

 

[KronoGator]

Wonder if the XFL will come after him? certainly a better choice for their Tampa team then Marc Trestman

You were supposed to capitalize... “ALL-TIME winningest coach.”

 

[Musclepug]

Done

 

[CGgater]

Done

MUCH better.

Spurrier did his job and did it well, as always. Too bad the AAF was built more on speculation rather than cash.

 

[Jbossgator8]

Spurrier will always be a winner!

 

[ChiefGator]

And now he has, next stop XFL??? I hope his health improves, watching him dodge on the sidelines was painful.

FanDuel made every AAF bettor happy by declaring the 7-1 Orlando Apollos champions and paying out futures bets on them. However, the company decided to also grade all futures bets on the other seven AAF teams as winners, including the Memphis Express and Atlanta Legends -- two teams that had been eliminated from playoff contention.
