Spurrier blasts SEC officials By Rick Scoppe, The Greenville (S.C.) News COLUMBIA, S.C. ? Coach Steve Spurrier said his South Carolina Gamecocks have been the victim of "more than their share" of bad calls this year by officials and that he favored having officials from outside the region do Southeastern Conference games. "I think it's a wonderful idea," Spurrier said on his weekly radio call-in show Thursday night. "It doesn't make sense if some guy from, I don't know, Alabama or Tennessee, is refereeing our game. "In the SEC, I know how these guys are. They go out and have a beer with their buddies (who say), 'Man, you stuck it to them last week, didn't you? You really got Spurrier and them Gamecocks, didn't you?' "Everybody says, 'Nah, that doesn't happen.' I think it does happen. Maybe they stick it to Florida. Maybe they stick it to ...," Spurrier said, pausing before going on: "I'm in favor of referees that don't even know who you are from other parts of the country come in and calling games. To me it makes sense." SEC spokesman Charles Bloom said "nothing will happen today," adding that commissioner Mike Slive was taking "the weekend to review the matter. We'll have a decision on Monday" on whether the league will take any action. It wasn't the first time Spurrier has complained about the officiating in South Carolina's 26-20 loss to then-No. 12 Arkansas on Saturday. On his Sunday television show Spurrier questioned several penalties ? or calls that weren't made. Then on Tuesday at his weekly news conference said he was "glad" a reporter asked about the officiating, revealing he had spoken with Slive. Spurrier said Slive "assured" him he would "personally analyze and look into a couple calls." "I'm not happy with what's happened, but there's not much we can do as coaches about it," Spurrier said on his call-in show. "I just hope the head (of officiating for the SEC) and the commissioner will thoroughly look into (the) officiating and make sure our guys are as honest as they can be and (are) making the same calls for all the teams, and I'm not sure that's happening this year." Spurrier said he bragged about the officiating last year, saying how much better it was now than when he was at Florida and how last year the Gamecocks had "wonderful calls." "But I can't say that this year," he said. "We're not supposed to comment on if that one (a call) was bad or good. So I'm not going to say that, but I think obviously this year we have had more than our share of bad ones." Still, Spurrier insisted he wasn't blaming the officials for USC's loss ? the Gamecocks' third by a touchdown or less this year to a nationally ranked opponent as they prepare to face No. 6 Florida Saturday. "We had a lot bad plays in that game. We tried to fight back and overcome them," he said. "But it didn't work out. We're not blaming the officials. Yeah, we got some bad calls. I got to admit that. We all have to admit that. (But) we had a lot of bad plays. That's why we're losers."

Wow, just when I was starting to root for Spurrier, he may wind up at Da U. Well, for them, if they are really interested in cleaning up the thug behavior, Spurrier is probably a good guy to do it. All he'll do is start running up the score again.

It's going to be really interesting to see how Spurrier, an University of Florida guy, is going to gel with the culture at Miami. Sounds like the marriage between a Southern gentleman and a south beach stripper.

LINK Spurrier denies candidacy for potential Miami job ESPN.com news services South Carolina coach Steve Spurrier denied a report Sunday that he is a candidate for the head coaching job at Miami, which could become vacant after the season. A source close to the situation told ESPN's Joe Schad earlier Sunday that Spurrier was being considered as a replacement for current Miami coach Larry Coker, who has suffered through a season full of turmoil and is widely rumored to be on the way out. "I am not a candidate," Spurrier told ESPN.com's Ivan Maisel. "I took this job to do what the experts said couldn't be done, which was to win an SEC championship here. We've got a good recruiting class coming in, we think. "That [Miami] is a tough job. This is the challenge for me." Spurrier is 13-10 in two seasons in Columbia. The Gamecocks are 6-5 as they prepare to play in-state rival Clemson on Saturday. Miami president Donna Shalala had hoped Coker could win the final two games of the season and then could argue to bring him back. But at 5-6 and with the team in danger of missing a bowl, influential trustees and boosters have begun inquiring about prospective replacements and identified Spurrier, the former Florida coach, as the top choice with the goal of making a splashy hire. Spurrier makes about $1.3 million a year at South Carolina and has 5 years remaining on his contract. When Spurrier left Florida to coach the NFL's Washington Redskins in 2002, he said he desired to coach somewhere that expectations weren't so immense on a yearly basis. But a move to Miami would certainly bring added expectation. Coker is under intense pressure and scrutiny despite compiling a 53-9 record prior to this season. On Friday, South Carolina unveiled a near-$200 million proposal that included expanding the stadium by up to 8,000 seats and an $11.4 million academic learning center. Information from ESPN's Joe Schad and ESPN.com's Ivan Maisel was used in this report.

Spurrier's wife has been cited for minor recruiting violations. She sent hand-written notes to families of recruits. A total of 8 violations (2 others football related), were reported by USCe, which is currently on a 3-year probation for violations during the Lou Holtz years.
si.com ... "She's done it every year in the past. This year's it's a violation, I guess," Spurrier said. The infraction, which the university classified as a "Level II" secondary violation, was among eight secondary violations the school reported that took place between July and December. CONTINUED ...

The Gamecocks are getting a nice chunk of change from Under Armour. A football-only deal worth $10.8 million for 6 years.

I have always been a Spurrier fan. Growing up Florida and rooting for the Gators most of my life (and every day except three recent ons) Spurrier was great in Gainesville and actually made Duke respectable while he was there.
I hope the 'cocks are playing for an SEC title soon. But I can also see Spurrier being lured away in a year or two.

I posted this yesterday along with some comments about the SC flag issue. It got dragged into the flag thread and since Steve is my favorite Whiner I dragged its ass back over here... so there. I can whine to if I wanna.
Steamin' Steve will always be coach-of-the-year for my All Whiners team, VLloyd' is my QB coach, John L. Smith, half time interview coach, Charlie Weiss coaches the wide outs and Pete Carrol is in charge of the flaming assholes.

Like it is : Spurrier?s confidence key at South Carolina Wally Hall Posted on Friday, July 27, 2007 HOOVER, Ala. ? He has a presence about him. When he entered the lobby of the Wynfrey Hotel, a couple of hours before his turn on the SEC Media Days podium, the place started hopping. Cameramen recorded his every move and the crowd murmured. Steve Spurrier kept his head up and his feet moving. Like back in the days of his triumphant march to the Heisman Trophy as a Florida Gator. The same Florida that he coached to a national championship before an ill-fated attempt as a head coach in the NFL. Now Spurrier is back in the SEC, starting his third year as the football boss at South Carolina. Cont...
