Ex-Florida QB Jesse Palmer critical of Steve Spurrier for quitting

Former Florida quarterback Jesse Palmer does not respect the way Steve Spurrier chose to leave South Carolina.

Palmer, who played for Spurrier’s Gators for four seasons from 1997-2000, was critical of his former coach this week when asked about Spurrier’s unexpected resignation.

Jesse Palmer appropriately critical of Spurrier quitting: "I don't think you can do that when you're asking your team not to quit on you."

It’s surprising to hear that coming from someone who had a lot of success under Spurrier, but Palmer certainly isn’t the only person who feels that way.
