Spurrier was a joke but at the time he was the new hot-shot who DS wanted really bad. I think a big reason Marty was canned after 1 year was because Spurrier became available. IMO Marty had this organization about 1 or 2 years from being turned around and then he's gone for Spurrier and unfortunately the rest is history.
I think in 10 years Skins fans will look back and say the 2 biggest coaching mistakes were getting rid of Marty too soon and getting rid of Shanny too soon.

I agree with the premise, but Spurrier was such a joke when he got here that I dont believe we could have kept him. Nor do i believe anybody expected us to. He was clearly a college coach that couldnt bring his schtick to the NFL. I completely 1000 % agree about Marty and completely 1000% disagree about Shanny. He clearly was not making progress and it was time for him to go.
