Spurrier: "I will go down as the greatest coach ever at USC"

GamecockCentral.com reports this as being quite true

 

Adolf Hitler told the media that he would go down in history as the greatest German of all time.

 

I like him.

He's got spunk.

I wish him the best of success.

 

...and Ahnold Svaunchenegger said he was going to be the greatest GOVERNATOR of all time.... :hihi:

 

You guys need to read the real quote more closely:

He didn't say greatest.

 

I was going by the quote in the original link:

"I will go down as the greatest coach ever at USC"

 

Well, Um, Uh........

Whoop-Ti-Do.

 

That was by a poster, if you scroll down a little you will se ethe actual article.

 

South Carolina is one of two SEC teams with a losing all-time record (MSMoo is the other one). I degrudingly admit the fan loyalty is amazing. To have the following they do, with that history is either a credit to their fans, or a comment on how dumb they are. And having meet a few Clemson grads, I'm opting for the former.

I like Visor Boy and all his garbage. Prior to his arrival at Florida, they were just annoying yankees with a so-so team, much like they are now. Steve-o made them pompous yankees with a team that usually lost the really big ones. It's going to take him two full seasons to beat UT, UGa , or Florida, but he'll do it. The Gamecocks will snag a 2nd place finish in the East, then he'll quit.

 

Those fans have something to be excited about every year. It just never pans out. "Wait 'til next year" is on the school flag. Some pretty good coaches have had thier careers buried at USC.
