Had a chance to talk with him this morning. Dabo called him and left a message. Spurrier called him back.

Really appreciated the opportunity to visit with him. Ironic that the birth of my head coaching career is the day that he’s going to retire. So I guess we’re forever linked together in that regard.

He's been great for college football. Ton of respect for what he’s done in the game of football.

I’ve been competing against Coach Spurrier all the way back to 1989, as a player.

I remember vividly when he came to Florida because he was different. He brought a different philosophy to the game.

He’s been consistent his whole career as far as who he is. He’s always been himself. He’s a winner.

One of the best to ever walk the sideline.

We really had a mutual respect for each other (despite the occasional sniping).
