ESPN: Why did Steve Spurrier fail in NFL?

[MTK]

Spurrier would have failed with any team in the NFL.

Who the heck in their right mind would have let Spurrier pick players at this level? He was perfectly fine with the arrangement and the nice payday with minimum effort.

He's got nothing to be bitter over, he was a joke and he knew it.

Pretty much sums it up. I particularly like the way he's bailing on SC during the season. He's a quitter much like Bobby Petrino is. He's bailing because he isn't getting those top recruits like he used to back in Florida and can't compete in the SEC like the old days.

What gets me about Spurrier is he just up and quits on his team like a true gutless pussy. How about you announce this is your last year but finish the job and be a man. To walk out on his team when the going gets tough pretty much says he's a quitter. He's probably golfing today. SMH.

My dad says that Steve Spurrier is sick right now, which is why he is quitting. Whether it be Cancer or something like that he isn't sure. Any truth to that you think or just speculation??

You can't pitch and catch in the NFC East and don't run the football.... this equates to a recipe for failure....
