So after news of Schottenheimer's hire spread on Wednesday, the Macon Telegraph reached out to Spurrier and ask the ol' head ball coach what he thought of his former quarterback moving from the same position with the St. Louis Rams to the Georgia Bulldogs.
Spurrier did not disappoint.
“He’s been an NFL coach. I don’t know why he went to college,” Spurrier said. “Maybe he wanted to go back to college, or maybe it was just a good opportunity for him. That’s an excellent opportunity for any coach. Georgia always has a whole bunch of good players. They probably have been the most consistent team in the East. Well, maybe they haven’t, heck we’ve beat them four out of five years, but overall they have probably been one of the best teams on the Eastern side.”
Vintage. And you know, maybe Georgia will be the fun team to poke for Spurrier now that Clemson beat the Gamecocks in November. Mentioning five straight wins just doesn't have the cachet it once did after a 35-7 loss.
Before being the Rams offensive coordinator, Schottenheimer was the New York Jets offensive coordinator and a QB coach for the San Diego Chargers and Washington Redskins.
