Ol' Ball Coach Steve Spurrier says he has plenty of coaching years left in him

Former Florida Gators coach Steve Spurrier, 64, says he isn't slowing down. He told Florida Today he expects to coach several more seasons. Of course those seasons will be brighter if he can keep Tampa native Stephen Garcia on the field and playing quarterback at the level Spurrier expects: "I will say this positive about Stephen Garcia," Spurrier said, "after the second incident, he basically got booted out of school. The school put all kinds of stipulations (on his future there). . . . It's been a year now and he has done about 175 hours of community service. Everything they put on him, a lot of our coaches said he'd never be able to do."
