re: What is the story behind the Spurrier "Non-Hire"?

If I remember right the story goes that Spurrier interviewed then went out to eat with some supporters in the same restaurant that another candidate and supporters were in at the same time. This didn't sit very well with Spurrier. Apparently he still wanted the job. I do remember that the entire team showed up at a BOS meeting and were pushing for Archer to be hired. This influenced the board and they eventually settled on Archer.
