The Steve Spurrier backlash is real. Some are calling his early-season retirement selfish. Originally, to be honest, I was like “Oh hell no” and stuff like that. However, after giving it some thought and listening to others discuss why they felt that way, I suppose I get it. Alas, we “like” Spurrier so he gets […]

Stephen Orr Spurrier is a figure who demands and deserves treatment on many levels: yes, as a football coach, but also as a personality, a professional in a rough business, an innovator, and as an architect of two programs. Had he stayed at Duke for several more years, Spurrier could have built three different schools […]

While polls carry no weight whatsoever with the College Football Playoff Selection Committee, they certainly generate plenty of debate. As soon as they’re released every week, college football fans flood their respective message boards to discuss which teams are ranked too high and which teams are ranked too low. No team generates more comments — […]

Plenty of great coaches come and go, winning games and receiving acclaim. In the history of the Southeastern Conference and the long existence of college football, better coaches than Stephen Orr Spurrier have walked the earth. Urban Meyer and Nick Saban are the two men who most readily come to mind in the present tense. […]

College football broke yesterday. There is no other way to put it. Coaches were fired, a coach is about to retire, and a quarterback from Florida got suspended for taking some fancy drugs. All of that was on a Monday. A MONDAY. There is still the rest of the week for craziness to come out, […]

Most college football writers enjoy a few aspects of their job more than others. Transcribing. Posting viral videos of off-field incidents, knowing that it has to be done in order to drive traffic. Going through traffic to get to a game site. Those are not fun parts of the job. What IS fun? Writing about […]

In college football, it’s perfectly okay to be blown away by developments you don’t expect. It’s the nature of the sport. Chaos is a feature, not a bug. Allowing a feeling of surprise to have its way with you for 24 hours is perfectly reasonable. After those 24 hours, however, you need to come to […]

First, about coaching: It is so easy — and very understandable — for coaches to process situations through the lens of, “Let’s do what we can to keep playing, to continue to give […]
