Doyel calls out spurrier


Oct 1, 2012, 11:59 AM

Possibly (probably) germanic in nature, but worth the re-post if so...

What I find scary are all the comments about how this sort of article is wrong and how the media is unchecked.

While I don't think Ron Morris is all that good of a writer if he gets fired for his comments I would be very ashamed of USC but I would be just as ashamed if we did this at Clemson. If Dabo was trying to get the cop who gave him a ticket fired I would be just as ashamed. If you don't like Ron Morris don't read him, simple solution instead of getting someone fired because you don't think he is a fan of your program.

The most telling fact in the article was that Spurrier has already done this while at Florida. If you write anything bad about him, he shuns you and tries to get you fired. Great way to go through life.

Spurrier has done that everywhere he has been. In fact, that's one of the reasons he bailed out on the Redskins so fast. He tried to pull that whiney victim routine with the Washington Post writers, and they told him to go commit an anatomical impossiblity.

I really wish a writer (possibly Morris) would go after SOS and wright a similar article to this for himself. If the paper wants to fire him I am sure he would have a nice case for wrongful termination. You don't have to do anything wrong to make a point and SOS's comments have made that easy.

South Carolina is a "right to work" or "work at will" state


Oct 1, 2012, 12:59 PM

which means you can't be terminated for a reason protected by law (age, race, gender, religion, etc.). Otherwise, an employer can terminate your employment for just about any other reason they want and proving that it was wrongful termination is incredibly difficult.

It isn't enough to be right, it must look right. It didn't look right, and Morris pointed it out.

Either way, it's childish to get so worked up about what some hack columnist thinks. Spurrier has already pointed out many times that he doesn't like Morris and thinks he has no credibility, so it's time to move on. But he just can't let that happen.

The real tradgedy is both Morris and Spurrier are correct. Morris has no place in journalism. There is plenty negative to write about spurrier (NCAA issues, player/coach legal issues, scholarships). There is plenty of factually correct evidence to show Spurrier is a power drunk jerk that would be embarrasing to most universities (except SC-Columbia) It is even becoming apparent that SC-Columbia has an imbalance of institutional power in favor of Spurrier, and for the above reasons Spurrier has no business being a head coach. So, they are both correct in that the other should be shown the door.

Other coaches back then wasn't willing to put in all the work they knew it would take to build that FB program.

Oct 1, 2012, 6:51 PM [ in reply to You guys were more than happy to drool over another ]

if Morris is fired, or transferred or anything else due to his tweaking of Spurrier's gigantic ego, the seat of judgement will be international, not just your stupid opinion of a few reactive posts on Tigernet.

This situation has nothing to do with Coach Swinney---gamecock fans and statewide gamecock-heavy media have tried their best to make something out of the ex-Pickens cop getting fired--to no avail. Once the facts were made apparent to anyone with an ability to read and comprehend (despite numerous sensationalistic headlines), the discerning reader, commenter and media pundit have almost to an individual proclaimed McClatchy's issues of his own doing.

But Spurrier's infantile threats and statements are drawing snickers across the US and should something nefarious actually happen to Morris, the anti-Spurrier sentiment---once prevalent across much of the national media--will resurface with new, crass vengeance.

Save your rationalizations and "toddler-ish" proclamations that Clemson fans "do it too".....this isn't about the fans....its about the "ego-prick" Spurrier who gets paid $2 million a year to, amongst other things, deal with the media. Its part of his job. Hyman let him get away with these tantrums and now Tanner is parroting the same fear. You cluckers may not have liked the inclusion of PennSt when Morris was explaining how some coaches can grow too powerful, but he was accurate and his prime example is on the sidelines of every usuck game........until he starts hanging out at the beach.

Re: Makes you wish for a real-life

IMO, Spurrier is childish, silly, and runs his mouth at the wrong time with little regard for class or good manners. He also is too proud and self-centered, with a huge ego, and responds like a spoiled child to perceived slights and criticism. Unfortunately, I have thought most of the same things about Dabo from time to time. Let's all hear it now; "Coot!!, Coot!!" or "You're not all in" (whatever the heck that really means), if you dare to criticize Dabo, even with facts. Unfortunately, Spurrier never forgets or forgives a remark, even in jest, at his expense. In his whole coaching career, he has relished, lived for, and thrived--no, excelled when he's feuding with another coach. If we don't play our best on both sides of the ball on Nov. 24, he will run up the score if he has a chance. He is definitely certifiable, but I, for one, would rather not p**s him off.
