Florida Gators AD on Steve Spurrier: 'He changed the culture of this place'

In the wake of South Carolina coach Steve Spurrier's official resignation - not retirement, he says - his former school, Florida, has issued these reactions about the former Gators coach and Heisman Trophy winner:

Athletic director Jeremy Foley: "He changed the culture of this place. I have been here a long, long time. When I first came here in 1976, all anybody wanted to do was win one Southeastern Conference Championship. Obviously, he came here and changed that standard a little bit. He produced the championships. Obviously, he produced the first national championship and he did it the right way.
