Spurrier?!? You cannot be serious when you imply he was let go prematurely.

I understood the original post to say that since JG did not have a track record to point to why should he be given any benefit of the doubt. I pointed out that track records of success dont matter to the Skins when it comes to letting a coach go.

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.
