Spurrier went to Bama to look into the job, and when he came back, SC gave him a raise and a contract extension through 2012. Before they hired Meyer a couple of years ago, Spurrier looked into coming back to Florida. He is a very proud man and didn't like the fact that he was told he would have to interview for the job just like everyone else. He knew that he would have a difficult time living up to Florida's expectations since he had already taken them to the top, so he went to a team where he could try and do the same thing that he had done for Florida.
