One of Spurrier's favorite trick formations features offensive tackles split wide along the line and is named for this NCAA Division 3 college in Southwestern Virginia. Famous students from this school include former West Virginia Congressman Harley Staggers and a pre-West Point J.E.B. Stuart
Spurrier's playing career at the University of Florida coincided with the development and early popularity of Gatorade, which highlighted the Gator's January 1967 Orange Bowl victory over this future ACC school that was ranked #8 in the final AP Poll.
In the first combined NFL/AFL Draft of 1967, Spurrier was the 3rd overall pick by the 49ers, going one spot ahead of this future Pro Football Hall of Fame quarterback from Purdue.
Although Spurrier earned his keep as a punter early in his NFL career, the only seasons where he started more than half of his team's games were 1976 in Tampa Bay and in 1972 as a fill-in for what longtime 49ers quarterback?
During Spurrier's first stint at Duke as an offensive coordinator from 1980-82, he coached this quarterback, who graduated with a then-NCAA record of 9,614 career passing yards and would go on to be enshrined the Arena Football League Hall of Fame
In 1983, Spurrier was hired to coach the USFL's Tampa Bay Bandits by John F. Bassett, who previously owned this city's Southmen of the World Football League.
In addition to having future wrestling stars Larry Pfohl (bka "Lex Luger" and Ron Simmons, the Bandits' offensive line featured this future Cowboys All-Pro nicknamed "The Kitchen"
Spurrier's third and final year as head coach of Duke was 1989 and featured a senior receiver who was named ACC Player of the Year and a first-year quarterback who would go on to amass a 67.9 career NFL passer rating between 1992 and 2001 for the Giants and Cardinals. Name EITHER PLAYER.
While Danny Wuerffell won the Heisman for the 1996 National Champion Gators, former Gator second-string quarterback Eric Kresser guided this school to the 1996 1-AA national title, thanks in part to having Randy Moss as a go-to receiver.
When Spurrier was interested coaching in the NFL, he may have been coaxed to Washington by this then-team executive, who coached against Spurrier in the USFL with the Memphis Showboats, hired Spurrier as an assistant in 1979, preceded Dick Vermeil as head coach of UCLA, and won a Big 8 title in 1968 at Kansas.
Spurrier's South Carolina teams had several highs and lows, among the highs was a 2010 upset win over #1 Alabama led by this then-junior quarterback, who would be dismissed from the team during his senior season for off-field issues.
One of Spurrier's favorite SEC rival coaches to antagonize was this successor to Vince Dooley, who was fired at the end of the 1995 season, perhaps in part to a 52-17 loss to Florida at Sanford Stadium.
