Om Posted December 2, 2003 Share Posted December 2, 2003 I'd like some harder confirmation on this, but ... if true, it's hard not to look at this as a possible very clear signal that there may be bigger moves afoot. Career advancement is a fine thing, but you do have to wonder if jumping from position coach in the NFL with Daddy -- meaning all kinds of promotion potential -- to OC at a mid-level college program is all that wise. Things that make you go hmm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Things that make you go hmm. Right you are, sir. Spurrier Sr. is gone at the end of the season. Voluntarily. The entire staff is apparently looking for new jobs -- Hue Jackson, Edwards, now SS Jr. This is as I've surmised most of the season, but now we have the concrete evidence to go along with what the little bird has been telling me for so long.

The Evil Genius Posted December 2, 2003 Share Posted December 2, 2003 Didnt Bob Stoops (and possibly Mike Stoops coach) for Spurrier at UF? Make no mistake, this is a step up. The next position for jr. is a HC when Mike turns the Wildcats around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Posse81 Posted December 2, 2003 Share Posted December 2, 2003 I wouldn't read too much into this. Edwards and Jackson are being mentioned as HEAD COACHING canidates. Thats a move that they should make every time. Any NFL assistant would look at that opportunity. As for SS, Jr. I don't think he would be next in line to move up to offensive coordinater even if Jackson left. I think Brindise would get the job. So I think its a good career move on his part but I don't think it inidicates that Spurrier will be fired. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While I suppose you could surmise it this way, I think you might be overanalyzing this tidbit of news. But that would be waaaaayyyyy out of character for you, wouldn't it?

dchogs Posted December 2, 2003 Share Posted December 2, 2003 i have a friend that played for nebraska and he told me today that the husker AD was in washington to talk to spurrier about the HC job... not that this means much, but i thought i'd share.

Canyonero!

Lowghost Posted December 2, 2003 Share Posted December 2, 2003 A couple weeks ago when JJ did that blow it up skit I thought he was auditioning for the HC job here. I haven't been able to shake it since. I hope its just the losing. Either that or ASF is getting to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Om Posted December 2, 2003 Share Posted December 2, 2003 ASF, you do really need a hug, don't you? Well, I'm not gonna give it to you. Not for this, anyway. I'd definitely not call it "concrete," mon frere ... but maybe I'd call it a straw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbooma Posted December 2, 2003 Share Posted December 2, 2003 Originally posted by Atlanta Skins Fan The entire staff is apparently looking for new jobs -- Hue Jackson, Edwards, now SS Jr. Now you don't think it could be that Spurrier has given them all warning that he might have to bring in more experienced people?? Think about it, he cares about these guys and wants them to get out before he has to do anything himself. Spurrier knows he needs someone with a lot of experience with the Defense, and then he can go back to being the OC himself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

codeorama Posted December 2, 2003 Share Posted December 2, 2003 TEG... Bob Stoops was the DC for Spurrier at UF in 96 when they won the National Championship. SS JR also left his dad's side to go with Stoops to Oklahoma and Stoops has publically said that Jr was responsible for coaching the best core of WR's that Ok had seen in many years and that he was responsible for a great deal of their success. I'm not really suprised by this. I think it's a step up for Jr, not a step down. Going from a position coach to OC is pretty damn good. Depending on his success, he could be a HC in the future.

BD Posted December 2, 2003 Share Posted December 2, 2003 I think this is a move up for this SS jr. That simple. He'll be in line for an NFL OC job or College Head Coach when Stoops does good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DeathByLinebacker Posted December 2, 2003 Share Posted December 2, 2003 Doering's been their money man in a lot of 3rd down situations whether he or El is technically the #3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
