The big problem with Spurrier was that he was unwilling to adapt. He wanted to win his way, with his offense pretty much the way it was.
On the other hand, the ability to adapt to his players strengths and adjust to what an opponent is doing are Gibbs biggest strengths.
If Spurrier came back to the NFL and was willing to adapt, I think he could be successful...but I don't see that happening in the near future. He'll go back to college ball for at least a few years first.
