Steve Spurrier Admits to not voting Tim Tebow All-SEC

**PC_You_Know** · 07-24-2009, 11:54 AM

He said he let one of his assistants take care of it and he signed off on the ballot. Coach Spurrier said at the SEC meetings that he had since called in and corrected the ballot and that Tim is now the unanimous decision for SEC quarterback. Coach Spurrier said Tebow is the best quarterback in the country, the best football player in the country, and also one of the best to ever play the game.

Title should obviously say Tim Tebow.

I hate Spurrier, always have...

I was watching the whole thing live. He just was NOT believable. Hate to say it, but just didn't buy what he was saying.

Add in his mess up on the being "voted to finish 4th 7 years in a row" comment (that he once again blamed on misinformation from someone else), and it definitely didn't bolster his credibility on the day.

Spurrier is a great coach, there is no arguing that. But locker room bulletin board material or media frenzy blow ups aside, he should just admit it next time. At least that would have been respectable.

It would have been a whole lot cooler if he'd have manned up and said "Yeah I voted Snead. I think Sneads a better player"....took the fun-ness out of the whole deal.

Ya know I don't know what is the biggest shocker here...

The assistant not voting for Tebow... OR

The assistant voting for 10 other Florida players...

Actually, after going back an listening again, it was the director of operations.

This is really a joke of a story, I don't understand all of the hoopla about it.

I'm not bashing you either PC for starting the thread. All I am saying is that I don't see the big deal that one coach (or assistant or director of operations or whoever) didn't vote for Tebow on the first team. I am no fan of Tebow whatsoever, but it is simply not that big of a deal. Everyone knows that Tebow is not only a first team All-SEC, but probably a first or at least second team All-American as well. Everyone also knows that he is one of the best players to ever play the game of college football. There is no arguing that.

I just don't see the point of the story here.

Yes, I knew what you meant, I was just clarifying it for everyone since in my initial post I said he was an assistant.

If he doesn't turn it up, Spurrier may be looking for a job after this season.

I still say he is a poo poo head.

It would have made it more interesting if he had said that was what he thought and didn't care what anybody else thought.
