So you're saying you don't like Kirby? Or are you saying you wish Spurrier was still at SCar? I mean, you and I both know that the only time SCar had any success versus UGA was with Spurrier, no matter who the HC was in Athens.
lol
I neither like nor hate Kirby... at this point he is just a coach of another team to me. The irony is if there was a specific coach that I intensely disliked seeing go against my Gamecocks it was .... Spurrier. He would roll in with his Gators and I would just wish the game was already over and we were looking to the next game. No coach has ever filled me with dread in the week before a game like Spurrier... and that includes playing against Saban's Bama teams.
So when SOS came to coach the Gamecocks it was indeed with mixed feelings that I had to come to terms with the past and embrace the Spurrier era. Hell this is one of my favorite games:
With all that said ... he lost control during the last couple seasons when everyone questioned his commitment and being there for much longer so, it is what it is/was.
So of course I miss Spurrier... the bright spot after that was seeing Muschamp beat Georgia 20 - 17 when you were ranked 3rd in the nation.... that must have sent you into a bender. Hell it would have me lol.
For anyone not up on their Spurrier history:
Spurrier is the winningest coach ever at South Carolina and Florida. During his tenure at Florida he led the Gators to six SEC titles and a national championship before leaving his alma mater to see what he could do in the NFL.
After two losing seasons with the Washington Redskins he returned to the SEC with South Carolina in 2005 and turned the perennially mediocre Gamecocks into championship contenders.
Spurrier, who was 35-21 with the USFL's Tampa Bay Bandits from 1983-85, started his college head coaching career at Duke. He has a 228-89-2 career record with the Blue Devils, Gators and Gamecocks.
