Steve Spurrier joined Taylor Zarzour and Greg McElroy on SiriusXM College Sports Nation Thursday morning to discuss life after coaching football.

More than anything, Spurrier said, he misses game days.

“I do not miss all the extracurricular stuff that (coaches) have to do now,” Spurrier said. “Recruiting has turned year round … They’re calling guys, texting, what have ya, so I don’t miss that.”

It’s no secret Spurrier liked to live life outside the coaches’ office. In the interview, he talks about an article someone once wrote about him saying it was surprising to see him coaching into his late 60s, because he liked to golf and go to the beach a lot.

Spurrier said he seldom stayed at the office until 10 or 11 at night.

“There’s other things in life besides coaching,” he added.

In today’s arms race that is college football, full of egos and maniacal coaches, it’s refreshing to hear from Spurrier, who never took things too seriously.
