Florida installs Steve Spurrier plaque honoring the Head Ball Coach at the Swamp

It probably isn’t hard to guess which Gators coaching legend is getting a plaque installed at Steve Spurrier-Florida Field.

The university is installing a College Football Hall of Fame plaque in honor of Spurrier the coach on a brick wall outside the Gators’ stadium. The athletic department has set up a Periscope feed to enable fans to watch the work unfold live.

Spurrier, who coached the Gators from 1990-2001 and won the national championship in the 1996 season, was elected to the Hall for his coaching career in January.

He already was in the Hall as a player for his Gators career in the mid-1960s, a run that culminated with his Heisman award in 1966.
