Not every young quarterback gets a little one-on-one time with the Head Ball Coach, but Clemson quarterback D.J. Uiagalelei did just that last week. Longtime Florida and South Carolina head coach Steve Spurrier was one of the coaches on Uiagalelei’s team at the Polynesian Bowl in Hawaii and coached the Tigers’ 2020 quarterback mid-year enrollee.
Spurrier has won a national championship as a college coach, leading Florida to the national title in 1996. He was also the 1966 Heisman Trophy winner (at Florida) and last year won a championship as a professional coach, leading the Orlando Apollos to a 7-1 record in a shortened season and leading Spurrier to claim (and Vegas backed him up) that they should be the AAF regular-season champions.
