5)Was Steve Spurrier really waiting outside for an interview while Curley Hallman was being hired?

I have heard this more than once and always thought it was BS.

With a little research, it seems that Spurrier would have been wrapping up his first season with UF when Hallman was hired (Nov. 1990). The timing seems off for an interview.

Correct. I believe Spurrier was in the running at the time Archer was hired. If my memory is correct, which it probably isn't, Spurrier was on his way to Baton Rouge for the interview but Joe Dean gave the job to Archer before giving Spurrier a shot.

Great move by Joe Dean.

Spurrier wanted the job when Arnsperger hand-picked Archer to follow him. And, I believe Arnsberger took the Florida AD job and hired Spurrier.
