DESTIN, FL (AP) -- Ex-Gators coach Steve Spurrier is back in Florida for his first appearance as South Carolina's coach at the Southeastern Conference's spring meeting in Destin. A 45-minute news conference wasn't vintage Spurrier. But he found the time to take shots at some of his favorite subjects.
He says he realized his NFL career was a mistake at the beginning of his second season. That's when Redskins owner Daniel Snyder made several personnel decisions without consulting him. He says he missed being in charge. Spurrier also says his dislike for Tennessee and Georgia has been blown out of proportion.
