Spurrier sighting

According to my sources, Steve Spurrier was seen at the Auburn airport this weekend. 

He apparently was in town for several hours before he left.

Now, what does this mean? In my opinion, he met with Athletic director Jay Jacobs to discuss the head coach opening. Someone of his caliber doesn't really need much of an interview. All he has to do is lay out a plan to convince the Auburn folks that he is serious about the job. 

He would surely be the big name Auburn fans want, but whether or not he's a good choice is not clear. He was pretty unsuccessful at South Carolina, but then again, who has ever been successful there? You can't win in Columbia. 

So, assuming he hasn't lost his fire, I'll take him. Not to mention that he's a big golfer and Auburn has some of the best golf in the state.

Of course, there's always the possibility that the Old Ball Coach simply met with Tommy Tuberville for a round of golf.
