65-37 record overall
35-29 SEC play
1 SEC Championship game experience
2-4 in bowl games

He came back into SEC same time as Les, so Spurrier has had 8 years to build the program.

Just look at South Carolina before he stepped in as coach. He hasn't been a failure.

He has made USCe into a top 10-15 program perennially. He has been a great success IMO. He hasn't matched his success at Florida, but that doesn't mean he hasn't done a great job.

Can you provide me with some USCe numbers before Spurrier arrived and then ask me that question again so I can ask if you have failed at life?

He has South Carolina in the top 10 two years in a row.

I don't think that's anything close to a failed coaching job especially when you consider how bad of a program it was before he and Lou got there.

GameCOCK football is at it's all time high. Enjoy it while you can. Once he retires and y'all go back to complete shite, you will fully appreciate the miracles he has performed with your turd of a program. Top ten 2 years in row is failure? At USCe? GTFO!

It's South Carolina.

If he did the same at Ole Miss, no one would call him a failure.

he's well on his way to being the winning coach in USCe history.

some forget that they were essentially another Kentucky before he arrived there.

Seriously?

This isn't even a question. We were slightly better than Kentucky before he got here. Say what you want about us and we may never win a SEC, let alone a NC (although our schedule shapes up well next year), but we have won 10 games in back to back seasons for the first time ever.

People are upset that we only won 10 games this year....its the 3rd time in 114 years we have won 10 games. That alone should answer your question.

We have one of the most dominant players in the game and are recruiting at a higher level than ever before, I doubt that would be happening if Brad Scott was roaming the sidelines.

No way. USCe was the pre-Synder Kansas State of the east, historically.
