He's 70 years old and retiring effective immediately.

That sounds like an illness may be in play.

Hope

SC has lost 8 of their last 9 SEC games

Suspect he's beaten down, tired and feels like it's time to get out and go golf for the rest of his life.

Never liked the guy.

Geomon : 10/12/2015 10:02 pm : link

But I hope it's nothing serious.

Wow

DavidinBMNY : 10/12/2015 10:44 pm : link

That's a surprise. Hope he is ok.

2 top coaches out in 2 days.

As other said likely illness to him or family member

I hope I'm wrong and it is just burnout or something

Shocking to have him quit mid season.....

Maybe there are health reasons. If not, a low character move.

Huh.

I never would've guessed he was older than Coach Coughlin.

The original Chip Kelly

never liked him

He's been getting beaten in recruiting based on retirment rumors

njm : 10/13/2015 8:39 am : link

I think he's had enough and is giving South Carolina a chance to get a new coach in place right after season's end to minimize recruiting damage.

Word is..

FatMan in Charlotte : 10/13/2015 8:41 am : link

it isn't illness based but he sees the season going down the shitter and was planning to retire at the end of the season anyway.

Once they lost their starting QB, any chance for a decent year went kaput and the Old Ball Coach is waving goodbye.

Didn't picture him as a

He's always been a douche

BeerFridge : 10/13/2015 8:59 am : link

as long as it's not because of some health reason, good riddance.

This is not illnees

djstat : 10/13/2015 10:35 am : link

This legacy. His team is bad and they are going to get crushed. So he is abandoning ship. If its health then I hope he is ok...but I am willing to bet its his legacy

Disgraceful

djstat : 10/13/2015 10:36 am : link

Quitting on his team because of losing. All credibility lost. No hall of fame for a quitter

He might be doing this..

FatMan in Charlotte : 10/13/2015 10:39 am : link

to give a certain person an inside path to the job (and I have no idea who that person could be). That's just some speculation being talked about here.

FatMan in Charlotte : 10/13/2015 10:45 am : link

comes highly recommended by Stephen Garcia:)

yeah...

Britt in VA : 10/13/2015 10:49 am : link

click clack.

Spurrier actually won a National Championship

BigBlueCane : 10/13/2015 12:17 pm : link

so he's automatically better then Kelly.

Spurrier was the one who coached up Dave Brown, right?
