College football legend Steve Spurrier calls out Texas, questions Oklahoma’s decision to join SEC
ATHENS — Texas and Oklahoma made their move to the SEC “officially official” on Friday, less than a week after giving the Big 12 formal notice of their intent not to renew their media contract after June of 2025.

Based on his logic of Texas bolting the BIG12 because they can’t win it, I guess we can expect South Carolina to bolt the SEC any day now.
Thirty years and counting.
Whether you love Coach Spurrier or love to hate him, there is ultimate respect for what the man has brought to college football. He has consistently brought entertainment value as a player and coach. There is a refreshing air to his often rather blunt analysis, even when your side may occasionally be the recipient of a barb.
@bogarttad Make not mistake about it I absolutely hate SOS and his condescending attitude. Didn't he quit in the middle of the season while being the HC at USC(e)? Come to think about it he bailed on the gators to coach in the NFL (complete disaster). He so badly burned his bridges at FU they wouldn't hire him back and that's why he ended at USC(e). Oh yeah, what a class act he is.
Spurrier has a point. Oklahoma has virtually had a guaranteed play-off ticket to start every season for several years now and that wasn't going to change any time soon.
I think the coming play-off expansion to 12 teams is why they decided to make the move. Had it stayed at 4 teams and Oklahoma had joined the SEC, they may not have made another play-off appearance for the next 5 years.
@ScoreCheck
I gather you are in the latter "love" category.
I doubt that Oklahoma and Texas care about what Coach Quitter thinks.
Spurrier does have a 3-1 record versus Saban.
The SEC misses a guy like Spurrier. He doesn't say anything that is factually incorrect or he couldn't back up. Sometimes the truth hurts.
Here's the thing. You guys all know who SS is.
He doesn't know who you are.
I am thankful every day that UGA is represented by people like Kirby Smart and Mark Richt and not by people like Steve Spurrier or Dan Mullen. They are an embarrassment. In the Life Is Not Fair category a solid Christian man Like CMR is stricken with Parkinson's and a blowhard buffoon like SS marches merrily on.
Steve Spurrier is a champion. I didn't like him when he out coached us for years as we allowed our Dawgs to to wallow in mediocrity. We went to bowls but didn't win championships. He is to be respected as one of the best college coaches in football history. You may not like him, but I can't think of anyone better during his time coaching.
Steve Spurrier is a champion? He was the coach of the flagship football factory university in a state that was top 2 in producing blue chip HS football players. He won 1 National championship. Yes he beat up on some bad UGA teams. In my eyes that made him the tallest midget. He was terrible as a professional QB. He was even worse as a professional coach. He quit on his team mid season after getting spanked by UGA. Mainly because his ego couldn't take it and his lame work ethic couldn't back up the checks his mouth was writing. He is not a leader of men. He is an embarrassment. The guy has been classless and boorish. His claim to fame is that he could play and coach a little football. That is all he ever was.
Why is this guys **** mug a cover story on Dawgnation? Please…. Never again!
Steve's take is 100% spot on. But no matter what the playoffs will expand in the near future I think and Oklahoma should be OK. But if the playoffs don't expand....they just made the worst move in college football history. Not speaking financially, but by them losing their much easier path to making the playoffs, that will 100% not happen as often, with only 4 teams going and them playing in the SEC. Their admin is on their knees right now....praying for playoff expansion.
Now that it has marinated for awhile, Mullen IS very similar to Spurrier. Except in recruiting and qb development and game management and hiring elite staff members and and. But, as far as throwing less than intelligent, egotistical and annoying barbs at opponents he's right there with SOS.
Lol, I know he was our nemesis. But I do love me some Steve Spurrier. College football could use him.
As far as who wins a championship first? Texas is about to begin dominating thanks to NIL money. Their boosters are just going to buy monthly autographs to buy the best players. Without any limits or salary caps, other than pure free market, it's hard to not see them becoming quite powerful again.
