This just in. The OBC still rules. Nothing has stood the test of time like Steve Spurrier. This cat is still the absolute best. As an example, like any other top coach, he knows he’s only as good as the assistants he hires. And only the best of the best get to work for the OBC. And he has a very specific and scientific criteria for selecting those assistants.

First, he doesn’t hire smokers. Why? I’ll just let the OBC answer that one himself: "Because it’s stupid. Smoking is stupid." Right?! Is there anyone, anywhere who doesn’t have a heater in their mouth, who doesn’t agree with that?. Smoking is stupid. And filthy and nasty as well. And smokers, save your, ‘If I want to blacken my lungs, that’s my business" rap: that’s fine, but you’re blackening the rest of ours every time you fire up that rocket. 1965 wants its filthy habit back. And that’s not all. Not only does the OBC not tolerate smokers on his staff, he’s not hiring a quote "fat, sloppy guy" either. (Guess he and Rob Ryan won’t be working together any time soon). I see him working: how can you demand discipline and accountability from the players if you have none yourself.?

Look, this policy and my having his back will probably get us both a little heat. But neither of us care. I got you, OBC: and if you want to work for the OBC, mix in a salad, rip off your patch, spit out your gum, kick the cigs and get on a treadmill.
