Right, three options. He kept the ball when he should have pitched it out or handed it off.Spurrier had two options: gut out an abysmal and worst season of his entire career or walk away mid season. Either way his ego was going to take a massive, massive hit. Legacy? That’s a different story.
edit: misread your post. Yes it would’ve worked out much better for everybody involved that he walked away after the bowl win over Miami. Our fate may have been much different.
