"In a move that would shake college football, South Carolina coach Steve Spurrier has been targeted as a leading candidate to succeed Larry Coker should he be dismissed as Miami head coach, a source close to the situation said Sunday. Coker is expected to be fired after Thursday's game against Boston College. Miami president Donna Shalala had hoped Coker could win the final two games of the season and then could argue to bring him back. But at 5-6 and with the team in danger of missing a bowl, influential trustees and boosters have begun inquiring about prospective replacements and identified Spurrier, the former Florida coach, as the top choice with the goal of making a splashy hire. A person close to Spurrier said he is interested in the position largely because he can compete in the state of Florida against his former school and believes he could win a national championship there. Spurrier makes about $1.3 million a year at South Carolina and has 5 years remaining on his contract. Miami would likely be able to pay him at least $500,000 a year more annually. "

If Coker is out at Miami have you thought about him being UNC's offensive coordinator? If I remember correctly he got his start as Butch Davis' offensive coordinator at Miami.

Spurrier says he has no interest in the Miami job, and wouldn't even answer the phone if they called.

11/19/2006 4:33:01 PM

11/19/2006 4:36:06 PM

it would be awesome if this started an actual "Spurrier for NCSU coach" rumour, though

11/20/2006 8:23:54 PM

Greg Schiano just turned them down. Though that was obvious since he just got a 10 year, $20M extension and Rutgers announced they are going through with the facility/stadium upgrades for him..

Speaking of miami, welcome to

12/4/2006 3:27:46 PM

^^nice. Thats kinda funny b/c I just read an article in the local paper written by some idiot saying that NJ residents would prefer to have lower taxes than pay more money for Schiano.

smurf turf

12/4/2006 6:01:39 PM

my guess would be kragthorpe from tulsa. they'll want an established head coach, not another coordinator
