My mother was on the Athletic Council in 1987 as was part of the interview team. In Spurrier's interview he was asked if he would leave LSU for the Florida head Coach position if it was open. His answer was (paraphrase - not exact quote) "Yes, of course. That is where my heart is." That turned the Athletic Council off to Spurrier.

And not another team ever offered our head coach until 17 years later.

I remember some of the women involved in the interview process making "This is so exciting!" quotes, and I wasn't very impressed by the process. My skepticism was justified.
