if he could have imagined 3 consecutive 11 win seasons at USC when he arrived 10 years ago. I thought his response was great...when I got here we needed some facility upgrades...some wealthy alums that had never been asked to give before have given me the money to be able to compete to keep the best players in SC here. They used to go to FL, TN, GA, now they stay here. And, now we are getting more out of state kids wanting to come here.

I really see similarities to Dan Mullen (not the personality of Spurrier, but who does). The facilities are better now, recruiting coming around some, I hope Mullen's story is similar after 10 years. By the way (I haven't checked this) but they put up a stat that prior to Spurrier, SC had 1 10 win season, and only had ever won 3 bowl games.
