Spurrier Calls out B1G School for Negative Recruiting

You must not pay much attention to tOBC. He enjoys trolling sports media, other coaches and the CFB world in general. Has for a while now. He's an old successful man and he's damn good at riling people up. He clearly enjoys it. This isn't Saban and BB going to an NCAA committee to complain, this is Spurrier making a veiled suggestion to try to spin some wheels...that's how he starts ribbing people. Slight jabs to draw someone else in and Bo, like Dabo, is a perfect target.

Those are admirable qualities in a head football coach.

I know you're being sarcastic and while I don't think they're "admirable" I think it's just fine. It's entertaining and his record speaks for itself. He's a very good coach. I'd rather him be relaxed with the media, enjoy his job and bring some humor to the table than be an angry barrel of gunpowder like some other coaches out there.

Also, since we seem to be maintaining the fiction that negative recruiting doesn't happen in the SEC....

I call BS on the "we don't see negative recruiting from other SEC coaches."

General article on all SEC recruiting

Mark Richt discussing negative recruiting

SEC blog about negative recruiting

SECRant forum discussing Tennessee negative recruiting

There are dozens more. I'm sure you could find the same or similar articles, blogs, forum discussions & tweets about the Big Ten, PAC-12, the Texas conference, etc.

The takeaway from that comment isn't that a Big Ten school negatively recruited - they all probably do - but that Spurrier said with what I'm presuming was a straight face that he doesn't see that in the SEC.

AJC and SECr.

No.

Anyhow I'm going to bow out before I get in trouble.

I'm sure some degree of negative recruiting goes all over from outright lies like, "that coach is retiring next year" to graduation rates, to little rib jabbing stuff like "we beat them by double digits last year," and everything in b/w.

Spurrier never named the school, but he let it be none that he knew it was being done. He called out the guy who's not in the club (SEC), w/o even specifically saying his name. The whole time, Bo (or whoever the Asst is) knows what Spurrier is talking about and now he knows that Spurrier will bring it up whenever in the media. So that NU coach (especially if he's an Asst) is thinking, "crap, I pissed off one of the most networked HC's in the NCAA, I made up some stuff, got called out on it and now I could look even more like jerk."

While that is going on, Spurrier is leaning back drinking a Coors and having a good laugh about it while he's chatting with Stoops and Gruden (yeah, they're buddies.) Spurrier sent out the message, don't negative recruit SC, otherwise you'll get called out on it, but probably only after we land the recruit and find out. I imagine if SC negatively recruits against a school then we'll get called out the same...unless we're really good at it.

Also, to whoever in this thread wrote about paying for a 3 Star recruit...lmao. sure.

 
If I were Bo and I was ever asked about this in a press conference, I would simply say...."Hmmm.....I'm not sure what incident he is talking about, but, I would be interested in if you would dig up the facts about if they have more crime and graduate fewer students athletes. Investigate that and get back with us."

He's not the first coach to notice that B1G coaches can be a little bit squirrely with recruiting, two B1G coaches noticed it about Urban Meyer recently.

You do realize your program is going back to where it has always been when Spurrier leaves, right?

Do you mean beating OSU in the Outback Bowl over and over? Sure, we could go up or down or stay the same. Some programs never return to their greatness after a tremendous head coach leaves and maybe they never will. Time will tell.

 
I think it was one of the Solid Verbal guys that said it best.

Spurrier has the least amount of space between brain and mouth of any coach in the history of sports.
