EDIT:: Here's a link. 852363[/snapback] WAKA, CBS 8 out of Montgomery is also reporting this: Sources: Univ. of Alabama Makes Offer to Steve Spurrier to Lead Football Program Breaking News from The 8 Team -- Multiple sources have confirmed to CBS 8 that Steve Spurrier has been offered a contract to coach the Univ. of Alabama football team. Spurrier currently coaches at the Univ. of South Carolina. Sources, including the Alabama Atlanta Alumni Chapter, have told us that the Univ. of Alabama has made Spurrier an offer that will make him among the top paid head coaches in college football. The apparent offer would also give him the chance to hire his son as offensive coordinator. Last week, The 8 Team reported that Spurrier was on a plane to Alabama. When Univ. of Alabama Athletic Director Mal Moore addressed reporters Monday on the firing of Mike Shula as head coach, he said he would not make a statement until a new coach was hired. Stay with The 8 Team for updates on this breaking story. Link Maybe it's nothing more than a leverage move: Spurrier contract talks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cynical Posted December 1, 2006 Share Posted December 1, 2006 Apparently, Spurrier has said no, and now Rich Rodriguez, HC at West Virginia, is the second choice. Report: Spurrier to Stay at Univ. of South Carolina The 8 Team is following developments around the clock in the search for a new Univ. of Alabama football coach. Thursday, WLTX, the CBS affiliate in Columbia, South Carolina, reported that Steve Spurrier will stay at the Univ. of South Carolina and not come to Alabama. According to the TV station, Spurrier met with his team Thursday afternoon to tell the players he was staying put. The TV station quotes Spurrier as saying "We came to South Carolina to do things that had never been done before, including winning an SEC title," and that he's not leaving until that's done. According to sources talking to The 8 Team, as well as The Huntsville Times, The Mobile Press-Register and The Tuscaloosa News, officials at the Univ. of Alabama were prepared to offer Spurrier a contract. The Birmingham News had reported that Spurrier had told people close to him that he would remain at South Carolina. Those sources tell The 8 Team that West Virginia football coach Rich Rodriguez is the second choice. He has spent time at Tulane and Clemson and has recruiting experience in the state of Alabama. He has several Alabama natives on his roster. Mike Shula was fired Sunday night after four seasons. University athletic director Mal Moore said Monday that he would issue no further statements until a new coach is announced. Stay with CBS 8 News and The 8 Team for breaking developments on the coaching search. Linky In other words, they don't have a clue who the new HC will be, and they should just stop reporting a bunch of rumors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
