The Head Ball Coach always has the best zingers.
Florida Gators reporter Ainslie Lee tweeted on Tuesday about an encounter with Steve Spurrier. She said she told Spurrier that her dad is a Florida State fan. Spurrier responded with a tremendous line — “tell your dad (Willie) Taggart is a great coach and FSU should offer him a 10-year extension.”
Just told SOS my dad is an FSU fan. And while I anticipated getting slapped upside the head with the paper he had rolled in his hand, instead he said:

Gotta love Spurrier.
Taggart is in his second season at Florida State and 6-9 so far. This is the worst the program has been since Bobby Bowden took over in 1976. As a former Florida national championship-winning coach and Gator ambassador, of course Spurrier wants Taggart to stick around as long as possible.
As we always do with Spurrier, here is a look at his best quotes.
