Steve Spurrier Coach Quotations

I do have some young coaches, but I don't really believe that is the biggest problem we have here.

The only thing I think I got was a little humility to the fact that you have a greater appreciation for all coaches. Sometimes you can coach your heart out, hard as you can, and the other guy just may have a better team and better players.

He is an excellent coach, an excellent recruiter and a good person. We think he will fit in extremely well here as he has in the past. He has a wonderful reputation as a coach and as a recruiter.

Our stadium seats over 80,000, and we sell all of our tickets.

You all think I'm the first guy to ever coach against his alma mater, ... This happens a lot around the country.

When you're the head coach in college, the athletic director and president are your bosses, but they do not come in and tell you how to run the football program,

Y'all never had a coach apologize for the performance around here? Is that what you're saying? Huh? Really?

We're not getting rid of anybody. We are readjusting the defensive coach and we are going to hire a defensive line coach.

Welcome Coach Spurrier. He was always a little cocky.

So, we were able to throw, and run, the ball successfully, and play defense. And well, we won the conference six in my first seven years there.

If the play goes bad, it was a bad call - even though it might have been a pretty good call. That's just the way it is, and we accept it and move on.

I guess you guys have to be a coach to understand. Once you spend a year with your guys, that's your team. That's just your team. I try to live in the present.

The first few years, throwing was very easy. The defenses weren't geared up for it. Then later the defenses got a lot better toward stooping the pass.

We just wanted to look around in the stadium and realize how fortunate we are to be able to coach and play in front of 80,000 people that love their team like we have here. Who knows if it does any good or not? We'll find out Saturday at 1 o'clock.
