I just meant the doormat in the league part. I'm not worried about them catching our W/L record with them. Like you said, we don't play them often. I wouldn't count visor boy out, all it would take is some strong recruitiing. I believe the man is still capable of coaching a team with talent.
Florida never won a championship before Spurrier but they weren't often the league doormat. Heck in the decade before Spurrier got there their worse records were 6-6 and 6-5 with a few 9 and 8 win seasons. Add the talent in the states into the equation and the job at SC will be much more difficult.
You're correct and I was gonna make the same comment. They weren't the doormat of the SEC, but they were a mediocre team at best.
I agree. Spurrier just needs some talent to work with and I beleive he will make SC a very competitive team in the SEC East.
We're almost on the same page but if going 8-4, 7-5, 8-4, 9-2-1, 9-1-1, 9-1-1, 6-5, 6-6, 7-5 and 7-5 is mediocre, than there are plenty of mediocre programs in the land IMO. 76 wins, 38 losses and 3 ties equates out to a about a 65% winnig percentage so I guess maybe that could be called mediocre overall. I tend to think of the teams that are considered mediocre winnig about 50% of their games. Before the 80's they may have been that way, I'm not sure.
Before Spurrier, UF was 475-337, a winning percentage of 58% (if I'm correct) A winning percentage of 58% and no SEC titles, I would have definitely classified them as mediocre.
