Hard to argue with such a well rounded, insightful and robust analysis. Thanks Ol’ Ball Coach.

Just a little further Ol’ ball coach and we can change your diaper. We need to remember how much you hate Tennessee before we pick them okay? 

Yeah, love Spurrier, but I really hope our program in general to include people in attendance have this game circled.

History of Spurrier and Texas 

He wanted the Texas job while at Duke (prior to UF) I think is the timeline … Texas told him he didn’t have enough skins on the wall 

Then when Mackovic was fired Bob Stoops wanted a shot at Texas… Spurrier pushed for him … Texas told Stoops he didn’t have enough skins on the wall 

So essentially Spurrier was correct twice. And he’s been needling Texas ever since - wrong or right

Spurrier was the ultimate gimmick coach. I remember the story when he went to the Redskins and didn't know that offense and defense had to practice together because they didn't have enough players to practice separately. Given that he played in the NFL, that seems far fetched, but when you're fixated on gimmicks, you get squirrelly.

Spurrier pulling a spurrier.  Always sayin something to get a look.  He has always been jealous of Texas...cant remember one positive thing he has ever said about the Horns....

Knew they had to be something . He does not like Texas. Thinking there will be many more picking Tenn. in this one. If true we passed on him and Stoops, maybe Deloss was not as sharp as we thought. Don't think Mack was his first choice either.

The timeline for Spurrier and wanting Texas was when David McWilliams was hired. Just to correct. Asked a guy that would know that timeline. 

It seems like a lot of people are picking Tennessee to beat us.  That’s what this team needs right now.  A bunch of doubt and hate to make them prove people wrong and that Ohio State wasn’t a fluke. Because that is what people want to believe—that we lucked into the win at home and we are overrated.  I want to prove them all wrong.

Can you imagine if Mackovic had never been at Texas? He was such a bad coach, stuck up, and not a leader of Texas.  We may have had the visor and more wins but no Ricky probably. What a different trajectory we would’ve had if either one of those guys had ended up here. Bottom line Johnny Mack was the wrong guy.

McWilliams is a great guy and a Texas guy all the way but he had fewer skins than spurrier. Makes sense that Steve was butt hurt by that.
