Shane Matthews helped Florida’s Spurrier era get off to great start

I’ve highlighted many times on this website that the Head Ball Coach has been an important figure in my life as a sports fan, even though I’ve never met the man. The excerpt offered on GN on Tuesday got me more excited to read the book about the man who, in my opinion, is the greatest college football coach of my lifetime.
