Gene Chizik has more unbeaten seasons than Steve Spurrier.
Hell, Gene's got as many national titles AND Heisman winners as Spurrier.
Since the day they won that national title in January 1997, Steve Spurrier has as many SEC titles as Mike DuBose, as many as Gene Chizik, half as many as Mark Richt.
Terry Bowden has more unbeaten seasons than Spurrier, and he only coached Auburn for 5.5 years.
It should be noted that while Spurrier's record looks impressive, most of it was confined to a brief period that overlapped the Danny Wuerrfel era in Gainesville. Steve blasted a lot of teams, but he also got mauled by teams he was supposed to beat.
1990 - Tennessee 45 Florida 3
1992 - Miss St 30 Florida 6
1994 - Florida St 31 Florida 31 (Gators led 31-3 with 12 min left)
1995 - Nebraska 62 Florida 24
1997 - Georgia 37 Florida 17
1999 - Alabama 34 Florida 7
2000 - Miss St 47 Florida 35 (game wasn't near that close)
And in 1998, his Gator team was WAY better than us and yet we should have beaten them. Spurrier's golden era at Florida coincides with the uproar in Tennessee (Phil Fulmer patting Johnny Majors on the back so he could mark the spot to stick the knife), a joke of an Eastern division as UGA was also imploding, a joke out-of-conference schedule outside of the annual brawl with Florida State, and a 6-5 bowl record.
Spurrier won four straight SEC titles, which just happened to be the four years Wuerffel was the starting QB. Put the rest of his tenure together outside of that and how many did he win? 1991 and 2000. Yes, I know Wuerffel was injured and Terry Dean finished the 1993 season despite being in Spurrier's dog house, but the fact remains that Spurrier never did all that much outside of that one well-recruited group of players that included Fred Taylor, Reidel Anthony, and Jacquez Green.
Spurrier blew big game after big game after big game. In 1994, he had a shot at the national title as he led Florida State, 31-3. Beat them, beat Alabama, win a bowl game and hope.
So of course, they let FSU tie it with four TDs in less than 12 minutes, shoulda lost to Alabama, and then lost to FSU in the rematch.
In 1995, they played for it all - they not only got beat, they got waxed. Wanna make 2012 Notre Dame look good against Alabama? Simply watch this game and you'll be convinced the Irish nearly won.
In 1996, all they needed to do was beat FSU to hold onto number one. Naturally, they lost. Naturally, Spurrier whined about late hits on Wuerffel. He won the title by routing FSU in a rematch - but only after Ohio State had knocked ASU off and given Florida clear sailing.
In 1997, they started at two, moved up to one......then somehow lost to LSU and then got blown out by UGA.
In 1999, they were in the top four and blew the game in the Swamp to Alabama. Just to show that wasn't a one-hit wonder, they really blew the SECCG the second time ("And Milons gets the corner....and he's gonna have a touchdown!")
In 2000, they lost to a Miss St team that had just been upset by South Carolina on a fourth down bomb for a TD.
In 2001, all they had to do to play for the title was beat the rescheduled Vols game (due to 9/11) and the SEC title game. Naturally, they somehow lost to Tennessee.
In big games, they never came through except when they had help elsewhere (1996).
Spurrier's Florida team was a bunch of bullies that - if you could survive the initial onslaught (a la the old Nebraska and OU wishbone teams of the 70s and 80s) - you could beat them. They had no plan B. Spurrier's entire offense was, "Ok Danny, send everybody deep and throw it and hope we come down with it." This is why I think he's not that great a coach, he's a great offensive coordinator.
Or maybe not, since he can't adjust. Hell, Terry Bowden with a team on probation and full of Pat Dye-recruited thugs beat Spurrier TWICE IN A ROW in his first two years.
), but the old ball coach must think he has a real good contending team this coming season! Back when he was at Florida he always picked at Tennessee because he knew they were his main challenge. Now he is picking at Bama because the rest of the East looks real beatable to him!
