If UGA hires the right coach in 1989, Steve Spurrier would be next to Herschel in UGA lore...and despised by Florida.
I wonder if he would have taken the job.
His hate for UGA goes back to his playing days at UF.
Erk Russell would have won more national championships then Vince Dooley if he was head coach.
He wanted the job badly and that is one of the reasons he hates UGA.
If so it's news to me.
He hated we kept UF from winning The SEC in both his jr and senior seasons.
You’re getting this story confused with a uga alumni who lost the job to Dooley in the 60s. He took a job at Florida and got everyone there to hate us including Spurrier. Doubt he was ever taking our job when his alma mater was calling him home.
But if Erk gets it over goof, while other story

Doubtful.
Running the triple option in the SEC? I doubt that. By the late 80s, nobody was running that offense in D-1 football with any real good results except for Nebraska. Even Oklahoma scrapped it by 1989. Colorado ran it for a few years, as did Notre Dame under Holtz. But nobody ran it like Nebraska.
Look no further than who his top assistant was and what he is doing in D-1 football running that offense.
Of course Nebraska's great run was AFTER the late 80s, so clearly the option had life back then.
Their BEST run was in the mid-90s, but they were running the triple option since at least the late 60s under DeVaney and then under Osbourne.
wasn't the HC for the national champions a QB there...under Osborne?
Yep. Frost was the starter after Tommie Frazier. Nebraska won a title in 97 with Frost as the QB.
Very glad that Frost went home to Nebraska instead of going to Gainesville.
He will turn Nebraska around, IMO. They got away from what they did the best for 30-plus years. Frost will bring back that option-style game they are looking for again.
