Spurrier to USC Players: "You're Stuck With Me"

(Columbia) - USC head coach Steve Spurrier told his players Thursday afternoon that he's not leaving.

Spurrier met with the team Thursday in a previously scheduled closed-door meeting. A source close to the team told News19's Matt Barrie that Spurrier told the players that he came to Columbia, "to do things that had never been done before, including winning an SEC title," and that he's "not leaving until that's done."

He reportedly jokingly told them, "some of you might not like me, but you're stuck with me."

Some t.v. stations and newspapers in Alabama continued to report Thursday that Crimson Tide officials were saying that Spurrier had agreed to at least listen to an offer from them. The report says he agreed to meet with Alabama Athletics Director Mal Moore, who was expected to offer Spurrier the Crimson Tide job. The report says Spurrier would have to accept or decline the offer at that meeting.

Meanwhile, The State Newspaper is reporting that USC is in negotiations with Spurrier to offer him a more lucrative contract.

USAToday.com reports Spurrier's salary is approximately $1,300,000. That's the seventh highest in the SEC, if you count Alabama's Mike Shula, who was fired.

the Bama and S. Carolina boards are already littered with posts from Alabama fans stating "we didn't really want him anyway"

How much of this rejection can they take? Who in their right mind wouldn't drop what they're doing and go take that prestigious job........thank God it's not us going through that again, my stomach was sick for several weeks, worrying about who, recruits, etc.

that would be my worry. in their attempt to find "stability", recruits are in limbo. recruits are the lifeblood of any program and the turmoil which has gone on there for the last decade or so has only gotten worse by canning shula. this cant be good when trying to land key recruits.

i would agree with the firing IF they had someone already in place like a spurrier or saban. as caddi noted long ago, this is the usual ploy to make the boosters think they are more important than reality shows.

Rich Rodriguez is just waiting til they beat rutgers this week and the bowl announcements are made I would imagine. most sane people thought this all along.

Yes, to take it a step further along those lines, a prospective QB wants to know if the coach they'll play for is more pass-oriented or run-oriented- depending on the prospect's style, it could plays big into such decisions.

Actually, Spurrier's biggest hang up was having to turn in his visor for a wool houndstooth hat.

Most normal Bama fans that dont believe all dilusional comments made up on messgae baords have been thinking Rich Rod all along. My guess is he will be a Bama boy on Monday.

thats completely false. most have had to resign to that fact, find some humility then reenter the atmosphere ablaze, once saban, spurrier and god himself had to make a public statement denouncing their interest.

whats that sound i hear? i do believe its the slow, arduous process of reality setting in.
