I don't know. I would like to see him fired. But, perhaps a better offensive coach would do. Plus, STEVE, STOP SWITCHING QB's everytime you change your underwear!! If he has another 6 or 7 win year in 2009 (or worse), FIRE HIM FOR SURE! Fire Spurrier?? I don’t know. I would like to see him fired. But, perhaps a better offensive coach would do.

Lord knows Columbia is a more exciting place for a college kid to be than Clemson, but USC just has a losing culture, pure and simple. Spurrier's biggest mistake was coming to USC in the first place, although any other coach over this period probably wouldn't even have made it to 3 bowl games.

The University of South Carolina football program should NOT fire Steven Spurrier. That would be a tragic mistake. SOME OF YOU do not remember the horrible horrible pain of the past 90 years of gamecock football. We made it to the Outback Bowl without an offensive line, and without much on offense in general. OK - how about a compromise. We demand an answer as to why we still aren't recuiting offensive linemen, even though it is obviously the #1 problem, and Spurrier can stay.
