Spurrier tweaks Kelly about QB decision.

Spurrier tweaks Notre Dame's Kelly on QB shuffle - chicagotribune.com

Explaining his own quarterback shuffle at South Carolina on Saturday, Spurrier tweaked Notre Dame coach Brian Kelly for announcing he planned on Dayne Crist being the starter for 13 games -- and then pulling the plug on Crist after one half.

Spurrier started sophomore Connor Shaw in a 56-37 win over East Carolina, brought senior Stephen Garcia in for the second quarter and previously had announced the better quarterback would start the second half. Garcia finished the game.

"I could be like those other coaches," Spurrier told reporters after the game. "The coach at Notre Dame said it was a very close competition and this guy is our quarterback for the year. I didn't say (Shaw) was our quarterback for the year, I just said he would start the first game.

"When you say you're going to do something, you're supposed to do it, aren't you?"

In fairness, Spurrier apparently missed Kelly's press conference leading into the season opener. The Irish coach did make it clear that while he planned for Crist to be the starter for all of 2011, the senior needed to perform to keep the gig.

"He's only gotten a chance to start against South Florida," Kelly said before Crist gave way to Tommy Rees in a 23-20 loss. "He's got to produce to be the starting quarterback each and every week."

Now that sounds like something he and Spurrier can agree upon.

Who the hell does Spurrier think he is? Yeah, maybe he is right about what he said, but to say this in such a demeaning manner. Why? Who asked you? What business is this of yours?
"I could be like those other coaches..." I mean, really?
This really pisses me off. As if the whole world was wondering what the great coach Steve had to say about the ND quarterback situation.

Spurrier is an egomaniac coaching a third rate program in a the "country's greatest conference"....and he is doing so in that conferences thoroughly weaker division.
He needs face time to feed his ego and there's no better way to get on ESPN than by taking pot shots at ND. Hell, Mark May is a no talent moron who offers nothing insightful but has managed to make a career at ESPN by taking shots at ND...and by defining what a soldier is for Kellen Winslow, Jr..

Isn't he the same moron that votes Duke into the coaches poll every week??? Talk about ethical integrity there. They ought to take his vote away on grounds of stupidity.

Is this the USC forum? The references to genitals, feminine hygiene and handicapped individuals appears to be. Do we have a forum moderator?

Yes, and we also like to sleep and spend at least a minute with our loved ones. All you have to do is report offensive posts and we take care of them. With the 1000 new threads we've had to wade through, move, merge and delete in the past day, it's impossible to read every post. Just report it and it'll be handled. Thanks...

This has nothing to do with the thread, but I see you changed your name. How do you do that? I can't seem to figure it out.

Semi-pertaining to the thread...Does anyone know what time Kelly is announcing the starter?

Yuk. acamp is the cat lover. I can't stand cats (sorry camper). I've got my dog sitting right next to me, my wife asleep and my unborn in her stomach. Sometimes I think they love me LOL, so I call them my 'loved ones'...

 

[rikkitikki08]

At this point i dont care what anyone says anymore.....WE NEED TO WIN! Thats all that is relevant

 

[Ultimate Penn St. Hater]

Spurrier isn't over the Sugar Bowl loss.

 

[pkt77242]

Personally I found it pretty funny. We all need to relax a little. At least Spurrier adds some color to the game with his comments, while most coaches only make bland and boring comments about other teams. FSU= Free Shoes University and Tennessee as you can't spell citrus without UT (for the citrus bowl)

Just messin' with you.

I have two dogs and a cat. The cat weighs more than both dogs combined. But, hey, my 3.5 lbs chihuahua can fetch.

He thinks he is a first ballot HOF coach, which he is. I don't see the issue with what he said at all, are we being a tad sensitive?

It's fairly obvious that Spurrier was responding to a question about his own shuffling of QBs. I doubt that he meant it to be a slight of Kelly, or Notre Dame. He probably was just angry that someone questioned him about it, and lashed out.
