SPURRIER: 10 best wins | The troller | HAYES: When he says it, he means it
Spurrier has all the credentials to be a first-ballot Hall of Famer. He won the Heisman Trophy at Florida in 1966 and compiled a 228-89-2 record through stops at Duke, Florida and South Carolina. Spurrier guided Florida to the 1996 national championship and six SEC championships.
