I visited with Spurrier over cocktails before the GMAC bowl (he was the keynote speaker at one of the functions) and I asked him about it. His version of the story was LSU flew him in for an interview and he was under the impression they were going to offer him the job. He was prepared to accept, but at dinner a group of trustees was at a nearby table introducing Mike Archer as the new LSU head coach. He said it left him a little salty.

Just in case it was not bad enough in your minds, Mike Shanahan was in the final 2 until the players stepped in and rallied for Archer which was a catastrophic hire. He destroyed the program. One year he signed 12 Texas recruits. Only one, Wayne Williams ever played in a game. Archer was a bad talent evaluator and lazy recruiter.
