Re: [gatortalk] Re: [gatornews] Spurrier retiring effective immediately

I'm with Rob. What a sucky news day for gators! I'm glad there are only 5 minutes left in the day.

I'm still in a bit of shock on the Grier news... not knowing whether to feel sorry for a kid who inadvertently took something technically prohibited, or ticked off at a kid who thought he could pull off a performance enhancing regimen without getting caught. 

The SOS news is just sad. He deserves to retire under better circumstances.

South Carolina coach Steve Spurrier told his players and coaches Monday night that he is retiring immediately, sources told ESPN.com, and the plan is for somebody else to coach the team the rest of the season.

Spurrier's retirement was first reported by SI.com.

Spurrier, the Gamecocks' all-time winningest coach, also informed South Carolina athletic director Ray Tanner of his decision to step down. This came after the Gamecocks lost their fourth straight SEC game on Saturday to LSU.

Spurrier, 70, was close to stepping down at the end of last season after the Gamecocks dipped to 7-6 on the heels of three straight 11-win seasons, but he elected to return. The Gamecocks have lost eight of their last nine SEC games dating to last season.
