Spurrier headed to South Carolina...Maybe

From Spurrier headed to South Carolina, announcement next week - Thursday, 11/18/04:



"The ol' head ball coach is on his way back to the Southeastern Conference -- just not where everyone expected.



Steve Spurrier, who guided Florida to six SEC championships and a national championship in his 12 years in Gainesville, has agreed in principle to take over at South Carolina for Lou Holtz as the Gamecocks' head coach, a source close to the situation told The Tennessean last night.



One potential snag in the agreement could be if Holtz, 67, has a change of heart and decides at the last minute not to retire. Spurrier has also been known to change his mind, although he's made it clear to South Carolina that the Gamecocks' job is the one he wants."
