The fact is Spurrier whines. Especially any time it does not go his way. I have never heard Spurrier really come out and say the reason his team lost was because the other coach or team was better. He always has some excuse. Last year it was always "IF" we had Lattimore, or because we had to use a new QB, because of the Garcia stuff. Even though he is suppose to be one of the best QB coaches in CFB. Always quick for an excuse. Never his fault or his own teams lack of effort, which Saban is real quick to point at for UA when they play beneath their capability.
That show that aired in the fall about the 1st SEC CG was perfect example of Spurrier being a cry baby. Before the season started in the interview he complained about the game. Did not want to have play UA basically, and he knew it would UA that year and UF did not have to play them during the season. He remembered how good they were the year before. Well that season did not go as planned and they dropped a few games. Later after his team was lucky to be in it he was interviewed and was praising the game because that was the only chance his team had to win the SEC, which they did not beat UA.
In short Spurrier is always quick with an excuse not really a jab for his short comings. His comments like this in the spring is just setting himself up for the fall. If USC makes it to the SECCG and plays UA but does not win his post game interview will be like I have said it is not hard for Saban to win at UA, trying not to give him credit. If they win he can go on to say I beat the greatest coach and team in the conference. Sorry for the rant but Spurrier I have no respect for and to be honest can not wait for the day he is out of coaching.
