In a world of rock stars, sultans, kings, presidents, and Hollywood royalty - perhaps the ego of Spurrier is truly remarkable. No one who has ever spent time with him can possibly fit their heads in the same room with his. . .

Still. . .

Despite a laughable attempt in the NFL (which I gleefully predicted would be a disaster) Spurrier has won at every college he's coached at. He wins. He recruits. He makes the opposition focus on him instead of his team. He's a prick and he's a winner. Former players love and hate the guy. Say what you will, but Steve-O is one hell of a college football coach.

Classic mind over heart rating here. . .

Coach Spurrier is doing a great job rebuilding fron the ground up!!!!
He is doing what needed to be done, change the stinking thinking of fans wait until next year. Love the new coaches.

Of all the greats, Spurrier has the highest winning percentage in the first 15 years (and that includes 3 years at Duke). After giving lowly Duke their first ACC championship in decades, he went on to Florida where he won an incredible seven SEC championships, and a national championship in his 12 year run. He has since taken over what was one of the most screwed up programs in the country- the University of South Carolina. His accomplishments there already include: 1) Becoming the first coach in school history to take the Gamecocks to a bowl game in both of his first two years. 2)Beating Florida in 2005 for the first time since 1939 (yes, the national championship Florida Gators). 3) Beating Tennessee for the first time ever in Knoxville. Without a doubt, the best college coach!

Quit the playa hatin'... He is the greatest coach that has ever performed on the college level, NFl was just a fluke, sit happens. One thing you can't disagree with is that when you face Steve's Cock-n'-Fire offense in the future, you will lose, so dont put money on USC games anymore. OK?

Fine college coach.You want to know something?I do not think what happened in the NFL was all his fault,either.

great move to a great school.

sucked in the nfl. good at duke, great at fla. we'll see what happens at south carolina.

Say what you want about Spurrer (arrogant, cocky, etc.) but he played by the rules and he won with style. I didn't go to University of Florida by I always respected their team because they had fun playing football. Yes, they were cocky, but that was awesome. In the 90's, what game would you rather see than FSU-UF? That was THE GAME. That is just my opinion.

15th, are you crazy?

MAJOR jerk! Phil Fulmer is a lot better than this guy!

Yeah, baby.

SS lacks both theology and geometry. As proven by his most recent recruting classes - no one wants to play there and be terrorize constantly.

wah..wah...wah...wah...throw visor....was...wah...wah....change quarterback....wah...wah...wah...scold student.....wah....wah

I love to see Spurrier do his temper tantrums on the side lines & then throw that visor to the ground. He does seem to coach well enough to get his team to bowl games. What makes me sick is to see him get a break in a game when a BAD call goes his way & then he gets that smurk on his face like the Grinch, you all know what I mean. GO VOLS!!!!!!

I concur with the rave above from Hola de Chile - I simply wouldn't play for that guy - he's immature and obnoxious.

A lot of upside that gets tangled with the down- side of things! He can recruit and coach offense with the best. However, he's a whiner and a pouter, and is not as gracious as he should be in defeat. As a result, the character of his teams is often questionable...look at all of those all-pros who couldn't get a national title for him in college!

I would never go there to play football

this guy could not be a bigger loser - he plays the crappiest schedule and wears the dorkiest visors!

sweet visor

do not play for that dictator!

The man's a winner and he doesn't cheat (see Tom Osborn and Bobby Bowden!)

worst attitude of all coaches he just thinks he's the s@%$ Ego problem

I hate Florida, but I love Steve Spurrier. He makes their games so exciting to watch with the Fun-N-Gun.

He is an offensive play-calling genius, however, this draws his attention away from his defense which may hurt the Gators when the play top 25 teams.
