HOOVER, Ala. — Steve Spurrier doesn’t think he’d be very good at retirement.
“I can go to the beach and stay four or five days, and, then hey, let’s get on out of here,” said South Carolina’s head football coach. “We’ve been here long enough.”
Even at 70, there’s no slowing Spurrier, who’s still coaching, still exercising, still letting fly with one quip after another, and Tuesday still proved able to charm an SEC Media Days crowd curious as to why the league’s foremost septuagenarian has not yet hung up his visor.
He certainly seemed close to that last season, after an overtime loss to Tennessee which marked USC’s third fourth-quarter collapse.
