Report: Spurrier agrees to coach South Carolina
http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2004/football/ncaa/11/18/bc.fbc.scarolina.spurrier.ap/index.html

bye bye Lou!!!!

never did like him

Steve Spurrier has agreed to take over as football coach at South Carolina if Lou Holtz retires at the end of the season, The Tennessean of Nashville reported in Thursday's editions.

An announcement regarding Spurrier, who won a national championship during his 12 seasons at Florida, is expected next week, the newspaper said, citing an anonymous source.

South Carolina spokesman Kerry Tharp denied the report. He said Holtz still needs to make a decision regarding whether he wants to return for a seventh season with the Gamecocks.

1. Surprising
I'd have thought Spurrier would have waited for higher profile position to open up. SC's okay, but not exactly college football royalty.

2. lower expectations = less stress
A high profile school will fire a coach if he doesn't get into a BCS bowl, preferably as #1. SC will give him a job for life if he can just get them into a bowl most years and hopefully beat Clemson. In that small state he will be royalty, and very rich.
