Now if he only could have done it before the Gator Bowl.

As a lifelong Terps fan, I'm absolutely heartbroken.

Yeah, this is surprising news. But word is he's looking to move to the NFL, and there's a new opening for head coach of the Vikings, which might be a good fit, given their receiving talent. But I'd much rather see Tampa Bay fire Tony Dungee and hire Spurrier.

Yeah, too bad he didn't quit before he put the starting QB back.

Fear the Turtle!

I'm heartbroken, but not entirely surprised. Think of it this way: this resignation process probably has been in the works for a few months. So Spurrier thinks to himself, "OK, we're back on track after the Auburn debacle... all we need to do is beat Tenn, get to the Championship, beat UM, and I get to go out on a high note..."

Sorry to see him go, but now I'm excited about future prospects. Great if Stoops came back over!

As for the pros, here's my prediction:
Spurrier to Jax
Parcells to Tampa (bringing Bledsoe from NE)

If not Jax, Steve would fit nicely at Minn. (except for the weather...) or Atlanta.

Wasn't Spurrier thinking about going to Tampa Bay a few years ago??

Looks like he's off to some NFL team. Should be interesting to see what he can do in the pros. I doubt he's going to get away with running up the scores now.

Tampa-- reunite him with Riedell Anthony and Jaquez Green.

If that jackass goes to Tampa Bay, I won't be a Bucs fan anymore! Tony Dungy has done great things for the Bucs and for the actual Tampa Bay area. I'd be very sorry to see him go!

Spurrier, on the other hand, is a total moron. I hope he explodes during one of his spitting rages!

Sondra,

I don't think Spurrier is going to be able to get away with his tirades in the pro game. It'll be interesting to see where he goes and what he does.
