Spurrier to Alabama ? - Page 3 - Notre Dame Football Discussion

**scooper** · 11-29-2006, 12:01 AM

I was checking out a bama board. They look a lot like we did a couple years ago. They are busting out the flight trackers. They are still fixated on Spurrier and believe to have found his flight from SC crossing paths with a flight out of Tuscaloosa.

This is like Deja Vu all over again.

My favorite Spurrier line is the one about the fire that happen at Auburn - the fire happened in a football dorm and 20 books were burned in the fire. The Sunvisor said "But the real tragedy was that 15 of the books hadn't been colored yet"

He won't go 'Bama - Expectations are way too high

I don't think any coach with any real noteriety is going to touch this job with a 10 foot pole. The expectations are unrealistic. Alabama fans and boosters have to finally accept that Bear Bryant is gone and no one can step in and immediately duplicate what he did.

As far as Spurrier goes, he isn't a guy that like expectations. He took the Duke job when they sucked and had no expectations, got them respectable and left. He took the Florida job when they sucked and had no expectations, got them to the top and left. He took the Redskins job when they sucked. He kept them sucking and left. He took the South Carolina job when they sucked and had no expectations, is getting them respectable and will then leave.

Take out Alabama and put in Notre Dame and replace Bear with Knute and you have exactly what other fans were saying about us two years ago.

Bama is still a good job. They have a lot of money, a rabid fan base, good facilities and are in the heart of a good recruiting base. Not to mention boosters who are proven to be willing to ummmm step up to the plate, if you will.

True, but remember everyone except an ND guy was running from the ND job as well. Even Meyer was a supposed ND guy. Are there any big name Bama guys they could get?

I think there were big name guys who would have takent it, but were never approached. As many names as were thrown around on ND boards, apparently the school's list was pretty short.
