Steve Spurrier was honored by Duke Saturday for his upcoming induction into the College Football Hall of Fame, as a coach.
He’s already in the Hall of Fame as a player.
The former Heisman Trophy winner coached at Duke before he was hired in Gainesville, which helped change the SEC forever.

Spurrier also spoke to the media Saturday, too, and he was asked about coaching again. He gave an interesting answer. The AP’s Joedy McCreary had video of the exchange (below).
“I don’t want to be a head coach. There’s too much involved with the head coach,” Spurrier said. “If it’s a high school, or junior, well they don’t have junior highs anymore. Just high school, or somewhere there to coach quarterbacks and pitch the ball around. That might be something, something I want to do again. It would just have to be the right situation.”

Spurrier coached 26 years in college at Duke, Florida and South Carolina and finished his career with an impressive 228-89-2 record.
Wouldn’t that be something to see a shirtless Steve Spurrier coaching the QBs at the high school level?
