Q: Is there one special freshman incoming from the high school end that’s really clout. Maybe he can play right off?
Spurrier: You ever heard of Jadeveon Clowney? *giddy laugh from Spurrier as crowd follows with laughter*
Question was asked about the confrontation between Gene Chizik and Ncaa vice president at coaches meeting in Destin Fl.
Spurrier: “Ah, that wasn’t no big deal. Chiz was asking why the investigation was taking so long and she just explained that they take a long time! I think we’re in the investigation too aren’t we? For that Whitney hotel thing? Huh? I don’t know who’s not under investigation anymore. *heavy laughter from crowd*
Yea we had some players stay at a old hotel because they had plenty of rooms there. I guess the NCAA thought that was an excessive benefit. Didn’t look like one.” *laughter from Spurrier and crowd*
Q: What really makes you want to give Stephen Garcia another chance?
Spurrier: "I guess we don't want to kick him out for stupidity," Spurrier said. "He hasn't done a lot of terrible things. He hasn't been arrested or done some of the things he once did. And there are some reasons that he's probably done some things. He has some issues he's trying to straighten out. He's done that the last three or four months. We do believe he's a good kid and a good person. He's really made some lifestyle changes to stay there, I'll leave it at that. Hopefully, it will keep up. We just felt like he was worth giving another opportunity to sort of change his lifestyle and thus far he's done it."
“Again, he’s gonna have to prove the position. Connor Shaw is an excellent quarterback. He was all-state in GA two years ago. They will compete for the starting job in preseason.”
“Anyway, he’s changed. If he goes about being ‘Stephen’ he won’t be there anymore, simple as that.”
