If you were wondering what Steve Spurrier thought of Florida firing head coach Jim McElwain on Sunday, he wasn't that surprised. Per TheState.com...

“The athletic director summed it up. I thought he did a good job of saying that this was not about wins and losses, it was about the whole thing, other things and so forth,” Spurrier said. “That was just part of it, the wins and losses. He took into consideration everything I guess, and they thought it was time to make a change.”
“The offense has been so bad, everybody knows it,” said Spurrier, who is also the winningest head coach in South Carolina history after compiling 86 wins with the Gamecocks from 2005-2015. “Did you see us play Georgia? Yeah, it was a sad, sad day, but anyway…”

“No, no, no. I am finished as a head coach,” he said. “I said I may come back and coach high school ball, quarterbacks or something like that. In fact, Marcus Lattimore saw that in the paper and called me up last week. He said, ‘Coach, I need a quarterback coach here at Heathwood Hall.’ I told him I live in Gainesville, Fla. That’s the only problem.”
Spurrier believes Shannon has a chance to get the job full-time if he turns Florida’s season around, he said, but he added he will have very limited impact on the coaching search.
“I may throw some names at (athletics director Scott Stricklin),” Spurrier said. “I’m not on the selection committee. Remember when they used to have those selection committees?”
