Florida Coach Spurrier Reportedly Offered Head Job With Buccaneers
Steve Spurrier, whose bid to win Florida’s first national title was foiled by Nebraska in the Fiesta Bowl, has been offered the Tampa Bay Buccaneers’ coaching job, The Tampa Tribune reported.
Reached outside his office Monday night, the coach told the newspaper he expects to make a decision today.
“I spoke to [the Buccaneers], I don’t think that’s any big secret,” Spurrier said. “I’ve listened this year, which is something I haven’t done in the past. I just don’t know.”
Spurrier did not return several messages left at his home Monday night and calls to his office went unanswered.
Spurrier told the newspaper he also had conversations with the Miami Dolphins about the prospect of replacing Don Shula, who retired last Friday.
