Danny left him no choice but to quit. Would you fire the people that you brought on, that you won with in college, that knows you and you system, I dont think so. Joe wouldn't do that. and GW would n't be here if Petibone would have said yes to coming back with all the other guys.

But you're comparing apples to oranges. Spurrier's staff was not getting it done in the NFL. Look how the offensive line had completely no protection at all for the quarterback - look how terrible the defense was in Spurrier's last year. It is one thing to have a staff you won with in college, but it is something entirely different to stand up for a staff that has won in the NFL.
