Apparently Spurrier is Leaving South Carolina at the End of 2009. Sigh.

PrintJay Coulter of the the fine SB Nation Auburn blog Track Em Tigers has an interesting column up about which SEC coaches will still be around at their present jobs in five years. While Coulter makes some good points, when discussing Steve Spurrier Coulter reverts to the old cliche that Spurrier will be gone soon. Now, I certainly won't argue about Spurrier not being here in five years. I doubt he will be. However, Coulter goes so far as to remind us that
Many believe 2009 will be his last on the sidelines.
Coulter apparently finds this position credible. However, while he's right that many people do believe this, those people are all ignoring things that Spurrier has said many times, specifically that he's in this for the long haul. How long that will be is anyone's guess, but I think Spurrier has made it abundantly clear that he's going to be here for a few more years.

I feel your pain
Just like Urban Meyer is going to shove off to Notre Dame any second now. No really, he’s totally going to up and leave after next year when ND fires Weis. You’ll see…
Wish and Dreams..
While SC hasn’t had the breakout season that many of us predicted, we have played spoiler for a few teams. Because of this, I think opposing team fans are wanting Spurrier gone more than Spurrier is actually thinking about leaving. I think he is still caught up in the whole ‘challenge’ thing. That won’t last forever.
Yeah, but he's still talking about winning SEC Titles and the like. Says he likes our recent recruiting classes and thinks our chances are good for the next few years.
I think he’s definitely still into the challenge thing.
Don’t forget, most of these Auburn fans thought Spurrier was about to hightail it to the Plains. And then they got Chizik. That should tell you something.

Wait,
You mean he hasn’t already left? I thought that Auburn thing was a done deal…

Apparently not, but only because Spurrier is planning on retiring at the end of 2009.

I agree...
I think he’s still pumped by the whole thing. I also think he’s been hurt by how dominant the SEC has become, nationally. We’ve gotten better since SOS has taken the helm, but so has everyone else. (The Iowa game would contradict that theory, but, oh well) I’m just saying, IF things don’t turn around for our program in the next couple of years…. How long is he willing to stay on? That’s the question that’s being asked, and I think that other fan bases want it to be sooner rather than later.
