[But after embarrassing himself with the Redskins in a way that Lou Holtz once embarrassed himself with the Jets, Spurrier decided he couldn't play bogey golf for the rest of his adult life.] I told my wife, 'I need to go coach somewhere,' ... Then this opportunity popped up and she said, 'Why there?' I said, 'Well, first of all, it's in the South. It's in the SEC. I get to play against the same guys I've been playing for 12 years. Everything is there to be successful and yet they have never quite done it.'
