I have it on pretty damn strong credibility that Steve Spurrier is going to be the next head coach at Alabama. I'm getting a TON of news concerning Spurrier being in talks with the athletic department, dating all the way back to September. To give a very brief summary, here are some of the events:
-University and board of trustees jets found at Augusta National, presumably playing golf with Spurrier.
-Spurrier making direct comments to the athletic director about how he'd "like to have his statue next to Bear Bryant someday."
-Spurrier's wife seen in Tuscaloosa this past weekend looking at real estate.
-Steve and Jerri Spurrier sat with the Crimson White crew on press row at the Florida game and apparently had a nice long dinner with a few members of the Board of Trustees after the game.
-Rumors have been circling about Spurrier being ready to get out of South Carolina already because of the inability to recruit and win there. He apparently wants another national championship and knows that it is extremely possible at Alabama.
-Alabama plays Florida State next year. Spurrier has said he'd like another shot at Bowden.
Apparently everything will be kept quiet until after South Carolina plays Clemson this Saturday. It's been a done deal for quite some time, according to most.
