"According to sources late Saturday, South Carolina coach Steve Spurrier will likely be named the next head coach at Miami. Spurrier, who won a national championship at Florida, is in his second season with the Gamecocks with a 13-10 overall record, including 6-5 in 2006. The coach is in the second year of a seven-year contract."
It's being debated heavily on college football websites. Posters from South Carolina insist it's nonsense, merely the latest Spurrier rumor. They say he recently donated $250,000 to the university, his daughter moved to the area and has enrolled her child in school, and both Spurrier and his brother have said within the past two weeks that Spurrier intends to finish his career at South Carolina. Of course, Spurrier made similar claims before bolting the Redskins after two years of an incredibly lucrative five year deal.
There was a report Saturday morning that Miami was under negotiations with a candidate to replace Larry Coker, but the candidate was not identified. One report tonight says Spurrier would leave South Carolina after the Clemson game. That certainly makes sense in terms of recruiting.
As a Canes fan I don't know what to believe, or even which way I'm rooting. It was bad enough with an ex-Gator at QB for two years, Brock Berlin.
