Spurrier's "rude" remark helps Tigers land nation's top back

It always pays to be nice to people because it’s the right thing to do. There are also benefits to being kind to everyone you meet. One day, when you least expect it, that kindness will be returned in a big way. Just ask Clemson head coach Dabo Swinney. Full Story »

A mother ALWAYS knows! Spurrier has the demeanor of an old grouchy man! He doesn't praise his players at all. He dogged them about everything...nothing was ever "good enough for him. Yet it speaks volumes about a coach that just up and quits in a few games of the season! Dabo is and was ALWAYS down to earth, thanking God for everything, and loves ALL his players...and they know it! Best wishes young man on a bright future ahead of you!

Everyone deserves to be treated with respect regardless of who they are. Thanks, Coach Swinney for never putting ice water on a dream. Go Tigers!!!!!!

True Story


Dec 18, 2015, 9:50 AM [ in reply to trust me ]

Years back, my wife and I flew to Ireland on business. Turns out that Spurrier, who was then at Florida, and his assistant coaches and their wives, were also headed to Ireland on a golf trip, i suppose. I saw the entourage in the Delta Crown Room in Atlanta and Sir Spurrier was rude to every person who spoke to him, even those who didn't ask for autographs.

@bengalbabe nailed it - he's a prick.

Dabo, on the other hand, is as gracious as they come. He sent my father an autographed football when he was dying of cancer. My wife has attended the past two Ladies' Clinics and came back with Dabo stories. And several years ago, my wife attended a Prowl and Growl event for me when I was away on business, and approached Dabo with a message. "My husband said to tell you he has a football autographed by the 1981 national championship team. He wants another one." Dabo's response? "Tell him I want one too."

I love that man.

I was at Bowl game last year with wife and 8yr old son when we were playing against OU in Orlando. We stayed in same hotel as Clemson. Dabo was busy running around as any head coach and Ill never forget when my kid went up and asked him to sign his skateboard, coach stopped what he was doing and hooked my boy up! He carried that skateboard and a marker pen around all weekend and the players were just as cool! Tiger For Life! Too many cool players to list but they all made a kids day!

Re: New Story: Spurrier's "rude" remark helps Tigers land nation's top back


Dec 18, 2015, 8:10 AM

I know, it's beating a quitting, dead horse but during a random, chance meeting Slurrier and his ego took center stage. The thing that totally baffles me is how he was/is so beloved by the media hacks and how he was just playing them like a fiddle. Even after this entire quitting episode they still adore him. Again, I just don't get it. However, normal, regular, hard working people that struggle through life see his public behavior and even 5 years later, it's still a point of contention and disappointment to this mother who at the time had a"young 7th grader that played football." Now, he just happens to be the #1 running back in the country and is committed to a man that patted her on the back, showed random kindness, looked her in the eye and treated her with respect and human decency. Does anyone not see why the "great one" fell from grace? I certainly do

With all the recent talk about what an honor it is to be a Heisman Trophy recipient, seems to me not enough is said about common human decency, kindness and generosity without being handed nor expecting a trophy. Mean arrogant brats like Slurrier cheapen the Heisman by their day to day behavior. Sadly, there is nothing outstanding about this guy other than the size of his ego and bank account and that's all he cares about, college football has many unsong heroes....Slurrier isn't one of them.

He was pleasant, but just seemed like he didn't want to be there (it may not have helped that my son and his friends started the Clemson cadence when he was talking to the FB coach). In contrast, (I haven't met coach Swinney), but Coach Elliott was a gentleman and made it seem like I was important.

It's not like he was blowing her off... I mean, what else can a person say when a random woman says her son is going to play football for him?

The point is that Mama evaluated the remark, the tone, the time & place and his facial expression and she thought it was rude. That's what played a part in her perception of where she wanted to son to go to school and who she wanted him to play for....and how his future would be shaped for success! That's called "Recruiting" and it's ever ongoing for head coaches at major universities.

Keep in mind, you are reading a written text version of it...there's no way you are hearing the way she stated he said it...his tone, his demeanor...whether he scoffed when he said it, which would make it become very condescending and dismissive of the mother and her son.

Sometimes it's not what you say, it's how you say it. I have spoken with several guys that have said the same thing about Spurrier while being recruited. It stemmed from not speaking, looking down on their parents, and basically telling them that they weren't good enough. The same guys had nothing but good things to say about Coach Swinney. Clemson has found a jewel in this man. We should all appreciate him.

it doesn't matter whether it was objectively rude or not. The only thing that matters is her own perception of to the two interactions.

First impressions are supremely critical - especially when the future of the relationship is hanging in the balance. You can only do so much to control the other person's reaction. You can say the right things but if they don't feel warmly connected in that moment, especially compared to an adjacent encounter, than you can come off as colder than you really are/were.

Some people are far more gifted in this area than others.

I can understand a mom being really proud of her son and thinking everybody else should recognize that, too. What Spurrier said probably wouldn't sound rude to most of us, but maybe it did to Mrs. Feaster.

On the other hand, I do think this is an interesting story that was worthy of being published by tigernet. As Mrs. Feaster said, things came full circle, and it's kind of amazing how important a small exchange from 5 years ago can be.

CDS gets it! He is a truly good person and doesn't know how to be anything else! He likes people and is secure in who he is. This comes across in everything he does, whether he's doing a interview in front of camera's or talking to someone at Walmart.

He introduced himself to my wife as she was walking out of the Central Walmart just weeks before he took over as the intern coach for CTB. He was signing autographs with some other coaches and stopped her to ask if she would like an picture!
My wife wasn't a big sports fan and told Dabo she didn't know who he was but was sure I would know. Well, she comes home and tells me about this really nice coach who introduced himself and how he made her day with his kindness! She was so funny because she said he's kind cute too! That's not not like her to say that and I still have fun with her about it!

I'm thankful to have such a good man leading our Tigers! We need to appreciate Dabo and what's going on right now because this doesn't happen often! This is a great time to be a Tiger! :)

I'm glad that the word "rude" was placed in quotation marks, because I can't believe anyone with common sense could infer rudeness from Spurrier's reply. No doubt that Dabo was friendlier, because he certainly has a much more outgoing personality than Spurrier. Coach Swinney won this recruiting battle by paying extra attention to a potential client years before he would actually see a return on his investment. His friendly personality and successful sales training often pays future dividends for the Tiger football program, and the proof is in a number one national ranking. Still, to read "rudeness" in Spurrier's remark is ridiculous, instead of just contrasting the two men's personalities.

You are a pathetic chicken fan too ashamed of his university to get a real screen name.

And you? Someone who chooses to hate or ridicule because of a school affiliation or a game with an oblong ball? Tell you what, clem, I can honestly wish the Tigers luck against OU, and I'll be rooting for them to win the NC. Now that just kills you, doesn't it? By the way, I do have a real screen name, MCB, and I'm mature enough to know that sports shouldn't be taken too seriously.

Thanks, Baron, I do mean it, and the original "Baron" was one of my heroes. Believe it or not, there are more than just a few SC fans who are proud of what Clemson is doing this year. Some people just live and die according to each Saturday's game result, and let it affect their lives in too many other areas. I did too, when I was ten! Fortunately, I grew up. By the way, you might want to check out Connor Shaw's complimentary tweet after the rivalry game.

It's a great story about how she's gone from working the tables to guest, and it's hilarious what her take was on the coaches. It's exactly what you would expect, and it's such a great life lesson that the coots will never learn. The coots reading this are probably writing this off and telling themselves this is fake. Deer coots, it's not. This is how the rest of the world views you people.

This is why i have ZERO respect for Spurrier


Dec 18, 2015, 4:00 PM

I dont give a #### how good of a coach he is or how much he has done for CFB, if you're a complete ### to everyone you meet then you deserve zero respect from anyone. Dabo is the main reason why Clemson is riding high in CFB & i just dont understand why other coaches dont see that. Glad to be a Tiger! Feel sorry for USC fans because they have another Spurrier coaching again.

About 5 years ago I worked at the hotel in Greenville that hosts the visiting teams playing against Clemson. The Gamecock football team stayed at the hotel. There was this one young family that had stayed for hours in the lobby with a helmet hoping to get an autograph. When the team walked through the lobby to one of the meeting rooms, the dad asked Marcus Lattimore for his autograph. Steve Spurrier broke up the opportunity and told them to come to Columbia if they wanted an autograph. The family walked away disappointed. I had recently moved to the Upstate, and I was still deciding which football program to be a fan of. Being able to watch Spurrier's rude comments to these loyal Gamecock fans contributed to my decision become a Tiger. Since then, I go to 2-3 games a year. Our coach is doing things the right way with class and integrity. I am proud to be a Tiger fan!
