the man who will be kinG

Except that he now has company.Steve Spurrier notched his 64th career

win at USC last week with a victory over Wofford; he’s now tied with Enright for ca-reer wins in just his eighth year at the helm. While Spurrier claimed it was no big deal, and that the only reason he said he cherished the record when he was hired was to show that he’d be around for a while, it did please him to know that he was joining some elite company.

“The only reason I said that was a goal of mine was because I wanted people to know I would be here 8-10 years, and go from there,” Spurrier said before the Wofford game. “That’s the reason I said that. I said it the first year, that that was my goal. Hopefully it will happen, but it hasn’t happened yet. Hopefully it will. We’ll just wait and see.”

Spurrier will get his 65th win sooner or later; when he does, he’ll be the all-time winningest coach at two SEC schools. The only other man to do that was some dude named “Bear” who wore a houndstooth hat everywhere he went.

Spurrier also has a chance to do it in the middle of his eighth season; it took Enright 15 years, split over two engagements, to get 64. With the Wofford win tying him at 64, naturally the focus turned to the next game for the record-breaker. That brought forth another crack at history, against the team that everyone connected with USC wants to see USC beat.

taming the tigersClemson awaits on Saturday, the Tigers

Spurrier Closes in on All-Time Wins Mark — and Another Piece of History

it’s no coincidence that the name of South Carolina’s career wins leader means “king” when translated from Latin. Rex Enright, even 57 years after coaching

his last game, continues to hold USC’s career coaching wins mark, with 64 victories in 15 seasons.

games — 35 — than any other group of seniors in school history to another victory, to keep the Gamecocks aiming for a goal of 11 wins this year to tie last year’s high-water mark, and to tie Enright in one more category.

The only other time the Gamecocks beat Clemson in four consecutive seasons was from 1951-54, when Enright was winding down his career. No USC coach has ever beaten the Tigers five straight times. Spurrier has watched his Gamecocks pummel the Tigers for three straight seasons — including two where, as they do now, the Tigers had a high-flying offense. He can keep adding to his legacy with a fourth.

Many laughed at Spurrier when he took Carolina job. Many national analysts — most notably ESPN talking head Lee Corso — said the Head Ball Coach was foolish to try an-other stint at college, especially one that had never had any sustained success. There was nothing to gain by tarnishing his legacy.

But Spurrier took the Carolina job because he knew that his legacy had already been a bit tarnished — his disastrous two-year stint in the NFL told him that. USC was willing to give him a chance, and although Spurrier probably could have waited for an-other more traditional winner to come along, he said yes.

The wins have become numerous and expected. If the Gamecocks win 11 games this year, they’ll have 22 in two years and 31 in three years — quite an accomplishment considering that a dozen years ago, USC was coming off a 1-21 mark over two seasons.

It’s stretches like that that painted the USC program as a graveyard, where too many coaches had gone to start a legacy and instead left in disgrace. Under Spurrier, the program finally achieved a lasting status of being above .500 lifetime, and it’s telling that his eight years ranks third in coaching

tenure, behind Paul Dietzel’s nine and En-right’s 15. Nobody else stayed — or wanted to stay — that long.

“We’ve had some really good coaches here, guys with winning records,” Spurrier said. “I guess Rex Enright is the only coach that has really coached more than about 10 years or so. Coach Dietzel was what, eight or nine, something like that? They had a lot of coaches with winning records. Coach En-right overall did not have a winning record, but he is the winningest coach here and so forth. It is always interesting looking at his-tory and sort of see what’s happened.”

the comeback kingSpurrier’s tenure at USC didn’t start so

well. He lost his first three SEC games in 2005, the final a 48-7 blistering at Auburn that at the time was the second-worst SEC loss of his career. He rose above that to turn the 0-3 start into a 5-3 finish, including the Gamecocks’ first win over Tennessee at Knoxville’s Neyland Stadium and the first win over Florida since 1939. But the Game-cocks slipped to a 3-5 SEC mark in 2006.

In 2007, Spurrier boasted about how he felt in the first year that he had the talent to win the conference at USC, and the season began with a 6-1 start that had the Game-cocks ranked No. 6. A shocking home loss to Vanderbilt sent the Gamecocks spinning; they didn’t win again, finishing 6-6 and missing a bowl game for the only time in Spurrier’s tenure.

It took time, full of mistakes and other foibles, to get back. Two straight crushing bowl losses in 2008 and 2009 — to Iowa and Connecticut, respectively — begat an SEC East championship in 2010, but a drubbing

in the SEC Championship Game and another bowl loss, this one to Florida State, rubbed some of the shine off the year.

But then came 2011, where the Game-cocks won 11 games and a bowl game, 30-13 over Nebraska, despite losing their starting quarterback and starting tailback halfway through the year. Then this year, where USC rose as high as No. 3; back-to-back road losses knocked the team down to Earth, but it still has a chance to win 11 games.

Spurrier has returned to the wise-crack-ing head man that he was at Florida, perhaps not at the level of smugness but knowing that he has a good team of good kids. The jokes and one-liners are much more present these days; the headaches of dealing with problem players is in the past.

The analysts might be right, that Spur-rier might not ever win an SEC title at USC. While Spurrier says he’s having fun and has no plans to leave anytime soon, the clock will catch up to the 67-year-old coach soon. Many coaches coach into their 70s — Kansas State’s Bill Snyder is 73 and leads the No. 2 team in the country at press time — but Spurrier has constantly said that he could never see himself coaching that long.

Who knows what will happen? USC will lose a bunch of key seniors who’ve meant a lot to the program after this year but will re-turn key pieces to this year’s success. Football works in strange ways — the Gamecocks’ 5-3 record in 2010 was good enough to win the SEC East, but a 6-2 record over the past two years hasn’t been. Spurrier might get another chance to win the SEC and add yet another crown to his head — one that already sports many more than the namesake that he’s about to pass.

RecRuit to WatchB Y C H R I S C L A R K

south Carolina’s coaching staff entered the 2013 re-cruiting cycle with a small

but important need on the de-fensive side of the ball: To sign a talented defensive tackle or two to add to a defensive front that is quickly becoming rec-ognized for being stocked with top-flight talent.

The staff zeroed in on one of the South-east’s best defensive tackle prospects, Mill Creek (Ga.) High School’s Kelsey Griffin. The 6-foot-2, 282-pounder is not only one of the best tackles in the region, but one of the best overall prospects in the country. The four-star defender checks in at No. 144 in the latest edition of the 2013 Rivals250 (rank-ing the nation’s top prospects), the 12th-best prospect in Georgia and the 12th-best defen-sive tackle in the country.

Numerous top programs pursued Grif-fin: Auburn, Florida, Georgia, Georgia Tech, Mississippi State, Ole Miss and Tennessee were several of the programs aware of his talents.

Griffin’s recruitment was an interesting one to watch. He visited USC in April for the Garnet and Black Spring Game and gave the trip a very positive review. However, over the

next few months it was home-state school Georgia that would battle the Gamecocks to land Griffin. In October, Griffin made a ver-bal commitment to Georgia at his school in a ceremony, only to reverse course on it shortly thereafter because things did not work out with the Bulldogs coaching staff. Quickly, the Gamecocks’ staff was able to take advantage.

“The whole Georgia thing went the wrong way,” Griffin says after announcing his com-mitment to USC. “I ended up going back to South Carolina and giving them the chance they deserved.”

Griffin made it clear that he is going to be happy in Columbia.

“The facilities are great, the coaches are great, and everything about it is great,” he says. “There is nothing I can complain about. When they got a chance to call me, they were on it and they called me. [De-fensive line coach Brad] Lawing is a great coach. [Quarterbacks coach G.A.] Mangus is a great guy. There’s nothing else I can ask for. I think I fit in at South Carolina and trust coach Lawing with what he’s going to do and how he’s going to do it.”

Mill Creek coach Shannon Jarvis holds his prized pupil in high regard.

“He is an aggressive player,” he says. “We have worked with him on using his hands, and he likes to play a lot with speed and quickness and that fits perfectly for what they do.”

Jarvis also pointed out that while Griffin brings a lot of ability to the field, it is his off-the-field attributes that make him special.

“Kelsey is just a great kid,” he says. “He is going to make any team better just because of the person he is and the love he has for his teammates. That is the hidden jewel in all of this. When the South Carolina coaches, players and fans get to know him more in the coming years, they are going to be even hap-pier with this.”

But while his numbers have definitely improved over the last two years, the fact is Swinney is simply benefiting from the overall weakness of the ACC and its continu-ing decline. Clemson can dominate its conference, but who couldn’t?

On the rare occasions the Tigers have stepped outside the ACC to face a major-conference foe, they’ve been tamed. The notable exception is this year’s win over Auburn — but consider-ing Auburn is having its worst season in over a decade, that win doesn’t beef up Clemson’s profile. The Tigers, too, have fallen flat in postseason play, suffering humiliating losses to Big East schools: a 31-26 loss to South Florida in the 2010 Meineke Car Care Bowl in 2010; and last year’s 70-33 depantsing by West Virginia in the Orange Bowl. Meanwhile, South Carolina owned the in-state rivalry for the past three seasons, a level of futility not seen in 40 years.

(Oh, by the way, West Virginia just scored again.)

Even Clemson’s in-conference wins have lost all luster, with Virginia Tech, another supposed ACC powerhouse, fading away along with the rest of the conference. Florida State still holds some power, but basically for the same reason Clemson does — there are not many tough guys around anymore. For Clemson to lose any conference game is now an upset — not because the Tigers are all that great, but rath-er because they are surrounded by kittens.

What has kept Clemson afloat at this point is clearly its stellar recruiting classes, but those aren’t going to last much longer. Face it: The ACC lives in the same neighbor-hood as the SEC, which is continuing to cement its reputation as the best and most examined conference. Any talented kid in the region who wants to compete at the high-est level and also be seen as a great player is much more likely to accept an offer to play

in the SEC. This trend isn’t going to turn around any time soon, slowly but surely sending the ACC down the path towards Big East status, settling for what it can get.

But for now, the Tigers can enjoy being one of the two holdout teams in a confer-ence that people want to still respect. They can draw the talent to stand out in the ACC, but not to compete at the national level, as the bowls will continue to show. As will the rivalry.

As mentioned, Clemson’s recent forays into the adult world have not just been fail-ures, they have been humiliating. Last year’s 70-33 Orange Bowl loss made history as one of the biggest bowl beat-downs ever, and the Tigers haven’t come within 17 points of beat-ing the Gamecocks in the current string of defeats. Yet, Clemson fans have deemed the

Gamecocks “overrated” for their strong posi-tion in the polls this season, despite multiple tough road losses.

Take a look in the mirror, Tigers. Beat someone worth bragging about, and you might get some respect. Of course, you’ll have to wait for the bowl to do that, because a real defense isn’t going to give you the 30-plus points you’re used to racking up.

Maybe next year.

in the minds of many, Dabo Swinney has turned Clemson’s football program

around since taking over for Tommy Bowden in the middle of the 2008 season. After taking a couple of years of abuse, Swinney is beginning to be embraced by the fans, who have gone from decrying him as a ridiculous cheerleader to accepting him as a coach.
