I've been thinking about this a bit, and I'm at a bit of a loss as to why he'd leave in the middle of the season. South Carolina is not a football power, they're far from one. Their place is more with the Kentucky, Vanderbilt, and Miss. States of the conference and generally you have to really stink things up for them to fire someone.
It seemed it was getting to be his time, but one would think South Carolina would do all they can to keep on the good side of arguably the best coach they've ever had. I wonder of that whole go play a home game at LSU thing ended up being the last straw? I'm not privy to any details, but if I was Spurrier I'd have preferred to play anywhere, but LSU for that game and it makes me wonder if there might have been some sort of argument along those lines. That or they just said it was his last year and he was like well screw you guys, I'm going home. Either way, this isn't how the best coach a school has had is supposed to end things.
