Spurrier: How The Ball Coach Taught the South to Play Football

â€œWe all like to prove people wrong who say weâ€™re no good,â€ says the eternally driven Steve Spurrier, the 1966 Heisman Trophy winner and NFL quarterback who took off his helmet, put on his coaching visor, and turned three downtrodden universities into winners. Spurrierâ€™s Fun â€™Nâ€™ Gun offense at the University of Florida flummoxed defenses and rewrote playbooks across the Southeastern Conference, transforming SEC football into a modern phenomena. Spurrier tells the story of a preacherâ€™s son from the Tennessee hills who has been overwhelming opponents with â€œball playsâ€ for nearly six decades.

The climax of his storied career is uplifting the University of South Carolina, a school that lost more football games than it won between 1892 and 2005, and was believed for over a century to be cursed. The only Heisman Trophy winner ever to coach another Heisman Trophy Winner, Spurrier dared to enter the â€œgraveyard of coachesâ€ at South Carolina, confronted his destiny, and turned the USC Gamecocks into an unlikely winner. Spurrier is the biography of the Ball Coach who has forever changed college footballâ€”and its impact on our culture.
