The Washington Post reports that Steve Spurrier has resigned as head Coach of the Redskins.
Coach Steve Spurrier and the Washington Redskins worked out the final details of his resignation this afternoon -- after a few hours of confusion in which Spurrier was unaware that he had quit his own job.
Spurrier's resignation was worked out by agent Jimmy Sexton while the coach played golf, presumably in Florida. Spurrier, who had hired Sexton on Monday, was initially unable to reach the agent today because of cell phone troubles on the golf course. That led Spurrier to deny that he had quit after the team had announced his departure in a news release.
Spurrier has been the coach of the Redskins for the past two years after leaving The University of Florida as head coach there. Apparently his "Fun and Gun" style didn't work out in the NFL.
Interestingly though, Nebraska is without a head football coach after firing Frank Solich after a dismal 9-3 season. (As a Penn State fan, I'd love to see 9 wins about now)
I think it is entirely possible that in September you might see a certain visor wearing coach on the sidelines at Nebraska.
